I believe that the factory may have stiffened the doors in later kits,
because ours (kit A135, received March 1999) do not leak. We added
sliding latches in the center of the bottom edge of the doors to prevent
bowing in flight, but we never need to engage them. We have vigorous
air flow out of the cabin through the slots for the gear and brake
levers, so additional exit openings are not required in our airplane.
