    Subject: Gas shocks for RV8 cargo door
    Hello, Latest Cabela <http://www.cabelas.com/> 's catalog has Attwood gas shocks for boat hatches and the like. Two sizes are offered, 5.25-7.5", and 9.5-15". I am thinking of using them for the cargo door on my RV8. Price is right from airplane perspective but I have a couple of questions: 1. Has anyone tried gas shocks and if so what size would you recommend. If an RV8, what positioning method/location did you use? 2. How does one determine how to mount them right the first time? Thanks, Vince H. - Idaho RV8-VSB Finish
