Group,



I'm thinking of getting a 701 for just some simple fun flying.  One question I have is: can one remove the doors and fly without them?  In the heat of a Texas summer the idea is appealing.



Thanks,

Chris Harding

Yes, do it all the time. You'll lose some speed/aerodynamics, no big deal.

Side slips are interesting...



Don't stick your head out looking down if you care about your hat ;')

Its tempting...



Haven't yet tried flying with them on but up (top hinge), but I've

heard of it being done. I would need to fail-proof my latch before

trying that...
