shaking
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:50 pm
does anyone have a cure for flying with the door open and avoiding the
"shakes"?
I converted my Rebel to gull wing doors. I have a latch pin to hold the
door open against the bottom of the wing so the door remains in place.
I installed a solid plywood bulkhead at the second bulkhead point behind
the seats.
There is a constant shaking and bad yaw if I attempt to fly with the
door open.
I have not tried opening both doors. Usually the shaking is so bad that
I cannot convince the passenger that opening that door would be a good
thing. They are usually "asking" me to close my door.
