I dont plan to explore handling at the higher speeds without the doors, but since the stall testing is already completed, I cannot think of any reason why the remaining test program needs to wait until the doors are modified and re-installed. However, I would be remiss not to utilize the resourse of the LML to be sure that I dont over look anything. All opinions welcome. Thanks.
