Good on ya. Let the guys with obscenely large engineering budgets tackle the outrigger concept. We home brew guys need to use our noodle to engineer in simplicity and lightness, which leads to EFFICIENCY. Which is the name of the game, right?
I like the idea of a rounded bottom on the door. I'm envisioning a fiberglass bulb a couple inches in diameter. That would let pants/boots/shoes pass without catching.
