REFLECTOR: Finish work on the doors

[Craig and Denise Woolston]

Ours didn't bind, but what was in contour went out of contour, both recessed
and protruding in different spots.  Mostly near the top from what I
remember.  Gap didn't really change.  Only thing I remember that happened
with the strake was the radius didn't match anymore at the intersection of
the door and strake along fuselage side.  The strake still matched up.

Hello all,

 

I'm doing some of the finish work on the fuselage.  I have been warned not
to do the fit on the doors until after the engine has been hung.  I'll wait
for that.

 

Could anyone with the experience let me know how the fit will change when
the engine is on?  Where will the doors bind?  Where will there be gaps?

 

Can I do the finish work around the strake/arm rest portion before I hang
the engine?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
