It is warming up here in upstate New York and I'm thinking of flying the Allegro w/ door open. I have a couple of questions in this regard:

1.	What is the limiting speed is for door OPEN flight?

2.	What is the limiting speed for door OFF flight?

3.	Can the doors be opened and closed during flight, assuming below the limit speed, or must the doors remain in either open or closed state after take-off?

Hi Thom



I have often flown our Allegro with one door open.  I open and close it in 

flight, but keep the speed to 80 mph max.  I have never opened both doors in 

flight at the same time.  I did try flying with both doors removed.  There 

was a lot of buffeting in the cockpit that made it unpleasent.  Otherwise no 

adverse effects.
