 |
|
I went to do the final fitting of the doors during assembly of the plane and after the windshield was in. The left door fit just like it did when it was removed after I made it. The right however is a different story. It seems to have flattened out a little in the curve which means when closing there is a 3/4" gap a the door pins between the door outer skin and the fuse. The doors were stored in the same place, for the same amount of time, and in the same position. Anyone seen this before or have a suggestion on how to fix it? Heat gun and tie-down straps haven't worked. It is so bad that even when using the third latch from Sean at Planearound, the door simply twists and the aft pin won't engage the pin guides. I REALLY do not feel like remaking a door because it bowed! Anyone have some experience they can share? Thanks.

Trying to get it together so I can go to the hanger.

Just a thought, is it possible the hinge halves have gotten mismatched from previous fit?
