Any time you experience an energy situation, you are robbing energy from some other area. Hence you are robbing yourself of potential, albeit faster speeds. Further any vibration of a part induces fatigue and eventual failure. Now that you have isolated the cause I suggest you heat and fit the door to the gear door seat and eliminate all vibration and movement. Thank you for the stats. They sound very similar to my bird.
