Subject: Heat door

Here are a couple of pictures of Steve Barnards heat door.
This door is held closed by internal cowl pressure and a magnet.
When Steve lands he pushes the door open from outside to let
the heat out from in side the cowl. To close the door from the outside
a bit of finger pressure is applied above the piano hinge. 

Great idea for a turbo airplane.
