No servo in the photo TC. The rod disappears into the fuselage so if it is the servo is on the top side..My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w

Thanks Bill. It’s not under what looks like a spring? Maybe the door pressure closes on that white tab sticking out. I need to go on an iPad or Laptop to see it better. LOLMy YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w

Looks to me like the spring actually holds the gear door open. The NG strut hits the white tab to close the gear door upon retraction and mechanically holds the gear door closed. When lowering the gear, the NG strut removes the mechanical pressure on the white tab and the spring pulls the tab upward (in this picture, actually downward with the plane upright) and holds the gear door open.

Yes, the nose mechanism is a new design, adapted from similar designs probably most recognizable to those of us who used to DIY our own doors on balsa planes before the Age of PNPs. The "sprung lever" has an advantage in terms of holding power and as Pat guessed in not requiring frequent adjustment. The spring is calculated in reference to the range of incidence angles possible with the strut in the stock location and also a rearward "bent" position. Translation: The door will close and hold closed even if the nose strut happens to be bent or kinked in any way.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Sent our EagleTree eLogger with GPS sensor attached up for a flight to record telemetry data. Winds were probably about 5-6 MPH. Upwind passes are 102-106 MPH ... downwind passes are 108-115. Average them out and she is legitimately a triple digit speeds capable model! (click on photo for a larger image)
(Also added same data to page one post)
