6gt; There have been instances of the doors departing in flight on
6gt; the Alarus E There was a modification of the latch mechanism so
6gt; there are 2 positive stops when latching; the first a kind of
6gt; safety stop C and the second fully closed E There is quite a bit
6gt; of negative pressure on the doors when flying C so obviously you
6gt; need to ensure the latches are fully closed and brief all
6gt; passengers not to open the latch in flight E Unlike some aircraft
6gt; with clamshell doors C the latch mechanism is quite simple and
6gt; easy to check to ensure it is closed E I also check the hinges as
6gt; part of the preflight E
6gt;
6gt; As far as cruise speed E At 7-8000 feet I cruise at 130kts TAS E

Maybe I wasn't too clear. On the very early ch2000 models I think the latch had only a single notch. That was changed to the current latch with 2 notches quite a while ago. I made no modification to this system myself and the stock design is simple and sturdy. Do make sure that when you do the final install you put some locktite on the screw that holds the inside latch in place and check it occasionally because it will loosen with use if you don't (that 1 screw is what holds the door in place in flight so having it come out would be a bad thing). The same is true for the 2 allen head screws used for hinge pins in the door. I found mine had backed out a little bit over the first 100 hours. I put a little locktite on them and they have held tight ever since.

For cooling, do you taxi with the doors up?

No, even with the engine idling they would at the least be damaged and likely torn off. They are sturdy when closed, and big enough to make getting everything and everybody in when opened, but are just not designed to be open and flapping in the breeze.
