Default RE: Vampire NG door
Hi Jon:

The nose gear - forward door works with 2 mechanisms. The first is a trapeze attached at the TOP of the door and just inside the nose gear opening in the fuse. This allows for the door to swing OUT away from the fuselage and UP when it opens.

The 2nd attach point is from the door to the lower strut directly. You will not be able to connect at this specific location on your gear but just above it.

Please see photo and I have attached the DeHavilland VAMPIRE manual drawing to illustrate.

If you still have questions please give me a call.
