The following statement was made in this thread about the RV10: "those door pins carefully as they are surely the weakest and poorest designed component of the RV10."
This can be onew OPINION but it factually is NOT TRUE. I would be willing to bet a large sum that ALL the incidents with the RV10 doors were either Pilot error OR Builder error.
I will leave it at that.................just wanted new RV10 builders reading these post not to freak out and wonder what they must do different in the building process.

Well, it might be a true statement that "ALL the incidents with the RV10 doors were either Pilot error OR Builder error.", but I think the design of the doors and the latching system make it way too easy to make these kinds of mistakes.
Aviation design history is full of these kinds of weak designs. They usually get modified/re-engineered at some point.
Having built the airplane and now flown it 330 hours, I agree with the statement that the doors and latching system are a real "weak link" on this airplane. I love the airplane, but that's the way I see it.
