good Q's it has to add more weight but don't know how much ,still looking for some info help a brother outWhat does a second door add for weight? I could make an educated guess, but I've never actually checked before and after.
Please, no offense, just curious of the weight if anyone knows. DAVE
Geeez Mike. If the pilot should open that door any time that the engine is running, the hinge on your red/blue bellcrank will line up with the hinge line on the door thereby locking the throttle in a fixed position. This could be very dangerous both on the ground and in flight. It may be OK on that Fairchild since you would not want to be flying with the wings folded anyway.

OK- so since both throttle handles are in the door that means that there will be no connection at all to the carburetor? Still no control?
one problem with this is no throttle when door open.. might want something up in front of door like you have in throttle cable..
chris good talking to you thanks for all the infoYup - can do a dual door J-3. And as far as added weight, with our carbon door/window frames that weigh 12 oz, it makes a pretty light set-up.
L16Abe - we'll talk. Should have the hangar up at GFL by September and will have extra room then.
