I have experienced no problems and I do not exceed 90 MPH indicated with them open. I also built a simple latching system that opens the bottom of the door about 1". That provides an amazing amount of air flow in the cockpit and is a LOT more peaceful than flying with the doors open. I can also fly at any speed with them in this configuration. I probably should take some pictures of the latch and post it here!
