I see your door opening and I'll raise you the instructor's door opening on my 1st solo
The old QFI in his eagerness to let me fly solo for the first time, must of not quite shut his door, It opened on my climb out.... I reached over and shut it on the downwind leg. It was a C152 so no real drama, though I did not open the window first though...
I also agree the Tommyhawk doors are cr@p, with the traditional messing around with both doors prior to almost every flight.
