Blowing the doors of the I-16?

[WWGeezer]

Is there something historical about the I-16 that the side panels blow off right after take off?  Noticed it happens everytime right after I roll out.  Was sure I blew out the landing gear or something the first time it happened.

Same reason strange people might wander into your house after you get home. You need to shut the door behind you after you've gotten in.

You need to close them as you are closing the cockpit. Check which command you have asigned to it.

I forget to close that side "flap-doors" much too often.First time they ripped off I also thought that smtg from landing gear went off.Reflying the mission on and on

I must admit I've done it heaps of times myself.  Just as my tail wheel comes up I hear a ripping crunch and curse the guy who I think is vulching me.  Clawing my way into the air I look frantically around and think, Phew!  He must have fled...

Then I get the wheels up and settle onto course while musing how 777 didn't quite get the shape of the cockpit right
