Subject: RV8-List: 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
