Just about to cut my 235 gear doors in two and I scaled down the 320 outback gear 2 part door template and it looks like if I maintain the same ratio (outer door length:inner door length) I'll end up with about 3.5 inches of ground clearance with the outer door.  This seems low with the compression of the doughnuts and tire upon landing.  Can anyone with the 2 part gear door measure the ground clearence with the outer door and e-mail me back/post it and I'll adjust the cut of the doors apart accordingly (or is the gear stiff enough so 3.5 inches will be ok?).

Thanks.
