<p>Joe,</p>

<p>Don't forget to upgrade the door lock on the forward edge. If not fit tight and locked, bubble doors tend to get sucked out.</p>

<p>Thanks Champ. Knowing that it could be a door spring is a help; something that is about 2 cm also helps me look. We do have Home Depot here plus our own local hardware stores. I will go see what I can find. I think I can estimate what will work or not work when I see the correct spring. Thanks again.</p>

<p>If you have Home Depot, Lowes, or the like in your locality, you should be able to get the spring you want.</p>

Joe,<br />

Joe, Had we lived closer to each other, I could offer you door strut kits. ;^)<br />
You should check with local hardware store (for a small and long door spring, may be?). In Bangkok, there are a few places we can go browse for springs, or we can place an order for a particular shape and size. Beside the spring, you need to machine the end piece to connect to door or fuselage also. Too soft a spring will not keep the door open. Too strong a spring will give trouble on (bending it and) closing…

<p>Champ, I like the idea of the coil spring for the door prop. Where could I find one? Thanks, Joe</p>
