REFLECTOR: Triax flange for doors

[Scott Baker]

> Protect the windscreen and side windows from Epoxy
> Allow the wetted tri-ax cloth to become "sticky" before applying - helps with adhesion to side walls and ceiling
> Inside the fuselage, where the top and bottom halves are joined - be sure to joint line is filled and glassed to create a continuous wall (no grooves) - before applying tri-ax flange
> Be sure to re-check the adhesion of the tri-ax to the fuselage several times (over several hours) after applying the material - you don't want it to flop down and cure into a mess.

  I've just started building an XL RG. The doors fit pretty well, and I've glued the cutouts back in temporarily. My next step is building the flange around the inside of the door cutout with 2 plies of triax.

   

  I'm planning on just following the directions in the manual unless someone tells me there's an easier / better / faster way. Any words of wisdom?
