Good timing on the topic. I'm not putting in a rotary magneto keyswitch so
I'm looking for a good source for a lock that fits the baggage door. Lowe's
didn't have any with the right tabbed washer setup.

Chris,
What was the answer you got, I erased too many emails when deleting the Egg
war. I read them all though. I am at the same spot with the QB but will be
cuting access panels this weekend I'm afraid, and doing nutplates on the
baggage compartment side panels.

fine to do later. just an aside... while building the baggage door, i really got a chance to see what things have an effect on whether it fits or not. i just built the door per plans, then when i was trying to fit it to the airframe, i got stymied. it's really the shape that you put into the F-1046L longeron that has the most effect on whether the door fits or not. mine does not. while working it to try to get it to fit, i mangled it pretty badly. in the end, it was just an exercise in whether i could make it fit no matter what the damage to the door. the answer is yes, but it's not pretty. i was pretty bummed, and even though few would ever see or notice, i would notice. and it would bother me. if i had to do it again, and i do have to do it again, i will do as someone else suggested and cleco the thing together, and massage the frame til it fit nicely into the airframe, then match drill and finish. i think i'll do this by gently fluting various things, again as others have suggested. i have the feeling that if one were to have PERFECTLY bent the F-1046L longeron at the upper edge of the frame per the plans, the door would fit like magic. i suppose that my longeron bending must have been slightly less than perfect. it was pretty damned good though. harrumph. this is an area that requires a little finesse i think, and if you boldly go forth and put together the door without ever checking to see if it fits well in the frame, you might end up with less than perfect results. Just to qualify "less than perfect", with the door lined up at the forward edges, by the aft end, the door was bowed out at the top by about 1/4". not much, but not quite right.

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry that happened, I know the feeling. I have
made two Verticle stabs and three right elevator trims. I couldn't deal
with the signature dent on the 1st VS and I also had to do that spar
retrofit anyway. The second is perfect.
My first trim tab ended up with a slight twist, I only noticed once it was
hanging off the HS while on the plane. The second, I thought I remembered
how to do it and forgot to countersink the spar and glued in the foam
ribs(Too late)and tried to do it to the hing, which actually worked but it
is not to plans. The third is perfect, except my proseal was out of date by
six months so I used a flexible epoxy instead of buying the $50.00 proseal
can for this use only as I have no more proseal projects(I Think) The
flexible epoxy leaves a little light burning in my head?? even after testing
on scrap.
My mother used to say" If you have to do it again, it will only come out
that much better." Only problem is that as we get older, one realizes that
you never get the time back....
Thanks,
John G.
