RV-10 Baggage door strut
- Thread starter Tooch
- Start date
Well, I got no replies. Maybe most 10 drivers are not putting a strut on their baggage door. I did find one that works very well. 6.6 pound 10 inch. Took about 15 mins. to install. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY25S1L9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
I have one installed but I cannot remember the data on it.
What I do know is that it is on the light side as you have found out in the meantime.
The door weighs almost nothing opening horizontally and all you want from it is to stop the wind from slapping it back and forth .
Keeping it open is the main function and there is one more benefit to it.
If it is not locked, it will pop open.

I have the aero sport strut. Had to replace it as the original one started leaking...
