| The doors are hinged at the front in case they are not latched properly so if it comes open the airflow won't rip it off the plane and possibly hit the tail. |

The XPAG engine is a serial leaker. There are at least 18 different points from where oil can escape.  |

All Morris Motors engines and gearboxes leak oil, it prevents the chassis etc from rusting!!!
