 Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:04 am Post subject: Baggage door bowed |
 |
|
Upon fitting my baggage door to the fuselage to drill the hinge, I find that the door has a pronounced outward bow,
at the top, in the middle, so that the door's top edge isn't flush.
With a strait edge, I can see the door is bowed out about 1/8 inch.
To make matters worst, the QB fuselage has about a 1/16 inch bow IN the same area (center, top edge of door). The fuselage may push out some when the top is attached, but the bow in the door will still be un-acceptable. The bow probably came about due to the dimpling process, but I didn't notice until fitting. Can I tweak the door to try to straiten it, or do I need to build a new one, this time with some precautions to prevent it from warping?
Obviously I may as well try to fix the door. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you straiten the door? I'm thinking about ripping a 2x4 on the bandsaw,with a reverse curve to it, thus creating a male /female template, then squeezing the top of the door between the pieces. Anyone else have any experience with this, or any ideas?
Thanks
