Jos



I did not like the big gaps in the door tangs either.  I talked to Andy when I was building and he did not know why they were built the way the are, SO ,  I redesigned the tangs and the recesses in the top of the fuselage. I have just a small crack around the tangs the same as around the rest of the door.  The hinge line was keep the same.



To do this I had to make new recesses to fit the new tangs. The tangs are squared off and the recesses are squared off too. It really is not a hard job.  (just takes tine! ) I started by dremal-grinding the old recess away. Then put foam blocks in place and layers up 4 layers of bid on the inside of the top.  The tangs were much harder to build.  I used a little bid and a lot of flox and trial and error to get them squared off. (the hinge surface is not changed)



There are pictures some ware in my Europaowners page.



Good luck
