Gear Doors Removal

I have also flown my 337H with & without gear doors. I payed $2500 to have the gear doors removed and the hydrolics that move them. There is no change in air speed. The plus is, it is a safer aircraft. You can raise gear shortly after leaving the ground and give a cleaner aircraft on climb out. You do not have the worry of drag if a engine quits, if gear and doors are hanging out there. Remember it is only the rear large doors they remove that are behind cabin area. They install fiberglass covers over holes that have just enough of a opening to accommodate tire entry.
