 |
|
Prepping doors after getting seals and pins fit, now wondering whether to cover screws, should I assume never needing to remove door handles and pin blocks, or is there reason to believe I will need to at some point remove the screws? I realize though that the screws do not take and hold paint well and think a smooth door would look better. I don't recall looking that close at other 10s to see what others are doing. Any opinions?

Most are epoxying and painting over the screws. It is not a big deal, but it provides a more finished look. It is a bit iffy that the paint/epoxy hold when/if the doors are removed and the bolts are re torqued.
This is a good opportunity to pound my drum to those novices in the build process to take a lot (I mean hundreds) of pictures from every angle of the RV10's that you see when you go to OSH or sun-n-fun. Especially focus on pictures under the cowl on these planes. Looking at these pictures will save you much angst in the build process when you can visually see what others have done.

If you're going to cover them up..... make sure those nice round heads of the countersunk screws are no longer nice and round when installed.... grind the sides into a square.... less likely to spin when/if removal and reinsalling is necessary.

I'd probably cover the pin blocks, but not the screws holding the latch in place. IMHO there's too much chance of removal on the latch mechanism screws. Also, as was already suggested, you can remove the nuts in a pinch on the pin blocks if you have secured the screws well enough, and possibly squared off the head a little, but you have to remove the door handle with the screws.
