I'm trying to determine if its worth varying from the plans and modifying the baggage door to enable removal with other than hinge pin extraction. 

  

I would appreciate any feedback to determine if this is warranted, or if the simple removal of the hinge pin will suffice to enable removal of the door. 

  

For those industrious inventors,'tinkerers' and 'builders of better mouse traps' out there, who have modified their baggage door installation to allow removal (a la nut plates or the like), with other than removal of the hinge pin, I would appreciate any feedback or photographs of how you did it please. 

  

Kind regards from a warm down-under.

I used the stock method and have not regretted it.  The door opens very wide with the stock high config, so I really have not had a need to remove it.  During my annuals (condition inspection) I remove it, but other than that I have not had a need to do it.

Yes.  The piano hinge can be replaced with two C hinges allowing easy removal of the door and ease of maintenance.  It provides a means to change the door from a two dimensional shape to a three dimensional compound curve if you wanted to get crazy.  The "C" style hinge can also allow a greater range of hinged movement.

  

 For most, the words "Just follow the plans and build it comes to mind".

  

 I thing your questions is more a one time pin removal with intent to reinstall the pin at the end of your journey.

Simple solution to build as plans intend and still remove the door with no effort. Very common in the RV world.

I haven't finished my install yet, but replaced the hinge rivets on the 

door frame with #4 Clickbond nut plates and will use countersunk #4 

stainless screws. Yes, a little pricey at around $2.10 a nutplate, but 

very easy to do with almost no time to install with no extra holes that 

conventional nutplates need.

Many thanks Robin, that has concreted my thoughts.

  

 I now have very little aluminium work left and have installed the cabin and now I'm on to the doors.  I might install the landing gear and engine mount to lower the fuselage for easier access.

  

 There is now a three month lead time on engine and instruments, bugger!

  

 Many thanks once again my friend, your input is invaluable.

  

 Kind regards, Pat

  

 PS: +47C here on Sunday!
