Just a heads up and a question for those who have the camlock oil doors.
Has your oil door ever opened in flight? If so what did you do to correct the problem?
Yesterday at about 150 mph the oil door on the 9 popped open in flight. The good news is that it stayed with the plane and still works. I have it installed with only one push button cam lock in the center and will now probably add some quarter turn camlocks on in the outer edge corners.
