Sven,
You may know that yours is not the first door separation in
flight. I believe it too did no damage in departing. I have substituted SS
hinges for Alu ones but have not strengthened the structure. It is my
assumption if my door separates, it will tear out the bolts and I will have
to strengthen structure THEN.
I may not be right, but it is worth considering whether you want
a clean separation, or whether open attached door will affect flight
control.
Like some others, I have opted for microswitch sensing of aft
locking bolts (as I can see forward ones) and aft pull-in handle. I have
diagrams of the installation of m/s details, including sliding covers and
part numbers etc. if you wish.
Cheers, Ferg
