 Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 8:26 am Post subject: RV8 Front Baggage Door Question |
 |
|
I made an error in building my front baggage door. I use .032 vs .063 alum. angle for the stiffener that goes above the hinge on the door side and stiffens the top of the door. That area seems plenty strong to me and the door fit nicely. I'm more concerned about the fit changing if I drill the old rivets out and replace the stiffener with the heavier version.
It would be reasonably easy to do on one hand but seem unnecessary on the other.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Bob Christensen - N83RC

Bob,
Vans engineers stay up nights figuring out what is necessary for the structure of their airplanes.
Yes it is inconvenient, however if it were mine, I would use the 063 angle as specified.

I agree, Van is the most concerned about weight and strength. If done right, the rivets aren't that hard to remove with out changing the hole size.
