Hi All,
I am installing an AeroTronics fiberglass map box and am having a hard time deciding on whether it is better to put the door hinge on the side or on the bottom. I can see the side having a slight disadvantage as it could swing around while open in flight (although I could squeeze the hinge eyelets to cause some friction). However, putting the hinge on the bottom means the door can just plop down when opened. Just looking for opinions on people that have it either way.
Thanks a bunch.
