I am about 2 1/2 weeks from first flight and have a concern about the main 
gear door springs.  The (2) at the rear of the doors seam to be too short.  
After a few cycles they have taken a permanent set about two inches longer 
then they were when new.  New Lancair springs measured 5 inches long center 
of hook to center of hook.  I think that they need to be about 7 inches long. 
 Has any one used longer springs?  If so where can I get them?
