I finished making the doors today and assembled the hinges. I notice that the hinges(the half for the cabin; and the half for the door) are not on the same planes C nor even parallel planes...................looking at the plans there no mention of this and which may be appropriate for the fore and aft........Anyone have advise on which to put in each location?
Moreover C while the welds look fine C the hinges aren't very attractive and the hinge intersections will be visible. Is there anyone producing any aftermarket replacement......hopefully machined?

Look very carefully at the plans, and which way the square block-like piece which holds the hinge pin is offset from the hinge plate. These drawings are correct, and apply to both doors in a left-right sense (when facing them), not in a fore-aft sense (which is reversed from one door to the other).
The cabin top is curved; you want the hinge line to be straight.

I looked long and hard at milling a set for my build and then considered producing them as OEM replacements. The “complex” angles made me think a second time about milling them not that it would be that difficult. (I think they penciled out to $100/pair) Eventually I came to the conclusion that there was no need as the hinge are going to stay in place even as the door is ripped off in flight. Maybe I should spend my time figuring out a way to reinforce the horizontal stab instead?
Ultimately we designed a cover plate I was going to leave polished till the painter shot it against my specific instructions.(It has to be the fumes!)
After all that angst I have yet to see another -10 that made me say to myself “gee I am really glad I made that mod.” I don’t even think I notice mine as the doors may block the view of the hinges when open. Or maybe I don’t see mine because they are painted. Regardless I think our solution is simple if you really want to go to the effort.

Below are two photos of the canopy top. One side has the hinge covers and the other side is the standard configuration. I will either paint the metal covers with the plane or I will powder coat the covers to match the smoke chrome of my steps and other items on the plane.

I recall that that I needed to flip the hinges, basically the high end goes on the back end of the front hinge and the forward end of the back hinge.
Don MacDonald makes the plates. They are very nice.

I made up about 40 sets of these.... because it was just as easy to make 40 as it was 4. I had them painted prior to installation... that way the hinges underneath were also totally painted. Don't have any pics of what they look like afterward.... maybe I'll shoot those tomorrow. If anybody wants a set of 4, let me know...send me an address... cost... $20 including shipping.... again not trying to make money here, just get some parts out there to my fellow 10 guys.
Damn this planbe is fun to fly.

These pics got me to thinking ..... actually a bad idea 
So what's the downside to glassing over the hinge on the top? Why would you need to remove the hinge from the top when you can remove the door? A thin cover glassed over the top side could be removed easily if/when it became necessary. Anyone done that???
As a side question: Any of the flying guys seen rust from the hinges??? What do you do to prevent it??
Comments anyone???

sometimes the good things in life take time.. those hinges are nice for sure and worth the wait.
Don; you should start a webpage with all the great upgrades you have made for the RV-10, the axle extensions, the front axle nut tool, the hinges and headset brackets.. all very nice work that you should offer to the new builders who missed the group deals before.

I made up about 40 sets of these.... because it was just as easy to make 40 as it was 4. I had them painted prior to installation... that way the hinges underneath were also totally painted. Don't have any pics of what they look like afterward.... maybe I'll shoot those tomorrow. If anybody wants a set of 4, let me know....send me an address... cost... $20 including shipping.... again not trying to make money here, just get some parts out there to my fellow 10 guys.
Damn this planbe is fun to fly.

Don MacDonald makes the plates. They are very nice.

I finished making the doors today and assembled the hinges. I notice that the hinges(the half for the cabin; and the half for the door) are not on the same planes, nor even parallel planes...................looking at the plans there no mention of this and which may be appropriate for the fore and aft........Anyone have advise on which to put in each location?
Moreover, while the welds look fine, the hinges aren't very attractive and the hinge intersections will be visible. Is there anyone producing any aftermarket replacement......hopefully machined?
