		Hi Greg,
		I just did not remember exactly what I had written on the website but I
believe either way works; 100 if the square is placed against the door, and 80 if placed
against the fuselage.  However, you have made me aware that the current statement may be
misleading.  I guess a more clear statement would be 10 degrees aft from the square angle.
Correct?  

		Regards,
		Jorge

		Hi Jorge,

		Think you meant to say that you started at 900 as per manual for the
door/strake cut and came back to 800 (not 1000) to give better access...if I read your web
page right...

		Best,

		Thanks Jorge for your reply. I spent quite a bit of time looking at your
web site and your
		construction pictures and I would like to commend you for your good work
and attention to
		detail. As the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words.

		Hi Andy,
		I initially started cutting the bottom right strake shell at 90° (manual)
but felt the
		strake was somewhat interfering unnecessarily with the access to the
cabin.  I then cut it
		at I believe 100 degrees.  Click on the link below and check out photo 2
in #6 (Strake
		Door Cut) of the Right Strake section.

		You could go higher at the expense of the storage compartment, if you
want.

		I completed, what has been for me, a long road last weekend. I closed both
strakes. I
		still have all the additional lay-ups that now need to take place when you
put your strake
		tops on, but now I think I would like to cut the strake noses off and
attach them to my
		doors. My question is at what angle has everyone cut the strake to door
nose piece off?
		The manual calls for 90 degree from the fuselage. I seem to remember that
most people were
		using 98 to 95 degrees from the fuselage to have better clearance when the
door starts to
		open. Please provide feedback.
