Gear Doors

Hi Mark,
I have a 78' 337H and had the large doors removed and like the idea I can pull up gear 10 feet off runway and get the plane clean for climb or maybe a problem on climb out. The cleaner the ship the better she will preform. I live in N.E. Penna., the same climite as you and I would recomand large door removal. It does get rid of drag when you need less of it on climb out. The top end speed is not effected by door removal and I have never had a problem with snow and we get a lot of it. Maybe if you had a turbo or pressurized model & going much higher I would reconcider, but you & I can not fly that high. Only my opinion. Dale Campbell
