"Of course, if I were to end up inverted, which is very likely in a trigear,
in an otherwise successful emergency landing, it wouldn't make any
difference whether doors were locked or not, as the doors couldn't be opened
anyway, except with brute force. I keep meaning to get one of those
emergency exit hammers just for that nightmare situation"
FWIW,
I am planning on installing releasable-hinge pins for the doors..... all
attached to a single emergency pull handle via thin/light cables, which will
simply pull all the hinge pins out, allowing for the door to more easily
pushed out sideways (the strut would still attach them somewhat).
Cheers,
