 |
|
I am jumping around on the plans so much that I can't keep my logs in kitpro
straight.
In any case I finished the install of my baggage door yesterday eventhough
the closeout panel is still clecoes. The door functions very well but I
needed to englarge the opening directly above the hinge pin to allow the pin
to be inserted. The Hinge is only ever so slightly in the airstream, which
is good, but it made the insertion of the pin difficult. The fit of the
door is excellent, thank all for the input.
Chris Johnson, crimping the frame did work for me.
I am planning on laminating on a piece of aluminum to the aluminum angle
which serves as a door stop right above the top of the hing pin( only after
all the painting interior and exterior is completed). Some filler will also
be used, but one this is done the pin will no longer be removable.
The piece of aluminum will provide backing to the filler and prevent insects
from getting in while the plane is on the ground.
Did any one else experience this or did you put the hing far enough out that
this is not a problem?
On another note, I was missing two #8 dimpled nutplates, the kit only give
two and four are needed, for the rear seats, for tacking down the seat
bottoms. Lastly, I have made two seperate orders for LP4-3 blind rivets, 100
each time and I am hoping I won't need anymore. The kit seemed short on
these by atleast 100-150.

John, I ended up in exactly the same situation as you.

with almost the same plan to fix, However, I believe that if I Pro
Seal a metal 'filler plate to the upper inside of the door itself, and
then fill that with body filler to hide any seam, that when the door
opens it should provide access to allow for the hinge pin to be removed.
(At least that's the plan)
