Re: 640 Builders Check-In

      I'm making plans to go see one of the completed 640's in the next couple of weeks.
      It sounds like if the performance is really 125 kts true and 1400 fpm climb
      that it'll be a good match for my family.  
      
      This may be a stupid question but....  With gull wing doors, is an in-flight opening
      more of an issue?  It seems to me that if one of those came open in flight
      it would rip right off.  Is there a loft to the door which keeps pressure on
      it?  Thanks.

      I built + fly a 601XL, but what the heck, I'll chime in anyway.
      I read all of the ntsb probable causes listed in:
      http://www.cleanh2o.com/633z/ntsb/
      (BTW, I've updated the page to remove duplicates and enable sorting.)
      
      There is an NTSB report of an AMD CH-2000 with clam shell doors.
      The door hinges failed, the door opened + departed.
      Event Date = 12/17/2004, location = Jean, NV, Make / Model 
      AMD CH-2000, N285AM.
