Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:28 pm Post subject: Door Half Index Holes

Anyone else have the top two index holes in the door halves not line 

up?  On mine the bottom two and the fore and aft index holes line up 

fine but the top two do not.  I clecoed the fore and aft index holes to 

the fuselage on the cabin top along with the bottom two window index 

holes.  They all line up fine.



I am thinking I can just leave the bottom two clecoed to the fuse and 

keep the bottom two window index holes clecoed and clamp them together 

tight and re-drill the top two index holes?



Thanks,



Sean #40303

Hi Sean



I had the same problem.  I just created new holes after I aligned the halves. 



Cheers

I would treat the index holes as approximations, mine lined up, but I

have heard and read of lots of people having issues with those not

lining up.  Get the mated the way you want and just re-drill the

holes.



If this is your first venture in to the fiberglass work envolved in

the RV-10 hold on, the ride is going to get worse before it gets

better.

I used the two index holes near the bottom of the door (I believe they're near where the door pins will be).  I used two clecos in those holes to hold the door to the fuselage, then drilled new holes.  If I'd used the actual index holes at the top, the door would have been very twisted.

They're far from perfect.  Just slide the two halves together and get the best possible fit, then drill your own reference holes.
