Deems, I am well aware that many doors that open in flight cannot be closed. On my Bonanza (D-35, with poor 1940 latch design) the door opened on takeoff while I was the PAX. It took all my strength to pull the door in about 2 inches. When I finally relaxed (a bit) the door only opened slightly farther and then just held there. I assume this COULD be different had the Bonanza hinges been on the top of the door instead of the leading edge. Maybe that is why it has a “V” tail. Keeps it save from departing doors.
Michael (Sausen): my Hendricks latched came with door locks to minimize petty theft.
Speaking of door handles I have not given much thought to an interior handle or handle & arm rest combination. Assuming I don’t; go with some sort of pull strap to close the door while seated what are other builders using to pull the door closed and/or use as an arm rest. My current plans are to paint the inside door and not place any material on the inside door.
Thanks,
Robin
