OK, we're about ready to start final fitting the doors and I'm reading ahead about tapping the rod and making a center pin to thread into it ... just to mark the center for where it hits the jamb?
Seems like a lot of trouble to go to just to mark a center. Has anybody stuck a sharpie in there or anything? I didn't see anything on Tim's site about it -- just thought I'd ask.
Later, - Lew

I am not happy with the stock door/locking pin setup. They have several
problems that the aftermarket guys have solved. One of them is lack of a
door key lock. If I were doing it again I would spring for one of the better
door handles or at least the machined latching pins with the magnet built in
the pins. Check some the web sites of RV-10 builder and/or the list archives
for post concerning door handles. I wish I had spent some money and did mine
differently. Also, although my door had a really nice fit, after I put the
'P' seal on the door edge I had to do a lot of sanding to make my door close
and the fit isn't quite as nice. The location of the mechanism inside the
door is very far forward but it makes it a stretch to stand in back of the
wing and lean forward to unlatch and open the door. In spite of this I love
this plane.
