I wanted to let you know Scott Schmidt installed my 90 degree retro kit and
was able to put it together without taking any screws out on his doors. If
your screws are painted over you don't necessarily have to take them out.
You can feed the pushrods through the new slot in the bottom and feed the
midrack through the box. Let me know if you
have any questions.

I also talked to Ed Hayden and he installed them. Said it
only took about 2 hours for the 2nd one he did, and he
didn't have to remove screws either. So this is great news.
Sounds like you have the perfect kit solution.

I did decide to install Sean's 90 degree system in my plane. I was a little worried at first about making a cut into the door but it was a piece of cake to install.
The instruction were great and it was very easy to make the small cut in the bottom of the door and one slit with a cut-off wheel and then just clean it up with a file.
I installed the kit in under 3 hours. I have not been able to test the system because I am installing new aluminum door blocks for the receiver pins and I ran out of time on Sunday to finish.
The kits exceeded my expectations in quality and everything was very well thought out.
It was great that I did not have to remove any of my blocks in the door or the handle since my screws were already painted over on the outside of the door.
I took a bunch of pictures and will post some in a few days once I finish up and do my final adjustments.
With the 90 degree system I should be able to have full or very close to full engagement of the cam (meaning it will pull the door completely closed) before the pins extend into the door block.
Before installing the kit I called Ed Hayden and he could not say enough about how great it works. He made the comment that the first time he closed the door he thought he forgot to
put the ends of the rods back on because it closed so smooth but they were on. I guess it had never closed that easily. After I heard his endorsement I went for it.
If you already have a painted RV-10 the 90 degree kit will be great. If you don't have your doors painted you may want to consider the 180 degree kit.
Anyway, I'll finish up later this week and post some pictures and possibly a video link for the 90 degree system.

Scott,
I’m looking forward to seeing your pictures. Can you also post the instructions?
