It seems like opening the bubble doors in flight would be a terrible idea.
They have a large surface area combined with a cup shape.
This would in the least create a large pitch variation and adverse yaw if
not opened on both sides.
The forces exerted against the frame and hinge would be large given the long
length. If the hinge did not give out, then at least a large stress will be
placed on the subframe there.
If the door did come off then the risk to catastrophic damage to the tail
seems great.
Wasn't there an indicdent mentioned on the list where the door popped open
in flight causing it to tear off and hit the tail?

Have a look at http://www.stolspeed.com/701-door-warning
A second incident has since happened with a Savannah. This time the door
didn't rip off, but got badly mangled. An open door like that can ride nice
and stable until the 80kt airflow catches it wrong, and then all hell breaks
loose! Take care.....
