    Default Door cylinder installation

    Hi

    I need your opinion for door cylinder installation ,front or back of the door?

    I see many pictures on the web, and i think the front is better choice because the handle to close the door is on front.

    With the front installation cause problem when enter on the cockpit?

    What do you think about that?

    Ours is fine with the the front mount - no interference with getting in or out.

    BTW - the manual on the S-7 calls for a front mount.............take some think time considering how the dynamics would work out with a rear mounted cylinder and and a door accidentally opening in flight.........................
