Cessna 182 Rolling Door

[MikeCNY 0]

Does anyone know of an A&P IA or company that installs rolling doors in 182's. I'm looking for a door similar to what is found in an otter, PAC, cargo 206 etc...

Any pictures that you could post would be great.

Thanks.

The only one I've seen is a turbo-300 widebody 182 that Paul Fayard had in Lake Wales in 2004. That might be a starting point for finding the STC for one.

No STC available for something like that. Has to be done with 337 field approval. I had one in one of my 1957 182's that a local mechanic made using pics of a Fayard roll up door in a wide body 182 (fayard wanted like 4,500$$ do the mod at the time, my mechanic did it for $700 using the same materials!!). Was great for views, but ate up WAY to much head room in the 182, since it has to pass under the carry through spars. I eventually went back to the regular "swing up door" and my tandem instructors started to like me again!
