    and also make a note to keep the speed down to 80 or below with the doors open
    Not sure where this 80 mph door open restriction all of a sudden appeared from. I've never read that from Kitfox but if so, I've exceeded that hundreds of times with no concerns.

    I use a self imposed 100 mph speed limit with the doors open for no other reason than it is a round number…

    At 100 mph, in smooth air, the doors are still stable on my IV.

    (No door straps - Not needed in a IV, IMO)
