One inside the fuselage & another inside the power door, both epoxied in. See picture below for the door magnet placement in the finger tab. 50 hours flight time & still in place. Thanks Harry. Ours just failed so we are going with the magnet option. Quote
Slick Nick Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 My spring broke also, and yes you need to un-rivet the entire assembly to replace the spring. I've had good luck with some automotive two sided trim tape to keep it closed, as I never use it. If I ever needed a boost, would be easy enough to open the door and overpower the tape. I do like the magnet idea though, I think I may give that a try. Quote
