I’ve got the doors hinged and fitting nicely, with the shoot bolts etc all operating in a pleasing fashion.
The manual gives the next step as fitting the seals, then the glazing and finally the gas struts.
I’m not sure about fitting the seals before the glazing - I’m wondering if the door frames are stiff enough on their own to compress the seals sufficiently and evenly all round.
My instinctive feeling is to fit the glazing first to stiffen the door structure and then fit the seals.
I welcome any comments about this proposed departure from what’s recommended in the manual. If it’s a really bad I idea, please tell me!
in friendship
Rowland

Roland, Following the manual did it for me. The seals do not create great pressure on the frame. After all you have to be able to pull the doors more or less closed before operating the push bolts. But in any case it is very easy to take the seals off again if you feel they are getting in the way. David, GXSDJ

As I have always planned to just splatter-paint the cockpit interior (which I did prior to glazing) I never considered attaching the seals beforehand…I suppose I could have, but I’ve deviated from the build manual recommendations for sequencing on many occasions…e.g., using clecos to delay bonding on the top until the last possible moment…no regrets there…Fred | Quote: | On Mar 13, 2021, at 2:19 AM, Rowland Carson <rowlandcarson(at)gmail.com (rowlandcarson(at)gmail.com)> wrote:
