I have a question regarding Door trimming. On page 45-10 figures 1,2,3 show the doors being trimmed till they fit just inside the openings on the fuse.
I have sanded the hinge side till it fits that way. My question is. Did most of you builders do this while the door was on the hinges and sand away till the fit is correct
or is there a better way. Additionally, which came first the fit or the bevel or was the sanding done on a bevel to accomplish both at the same time.
Lastly, is the trim bevel shown on this page completely around the door opening.
Thanks for your responses or pictures.

Don't have a picture but I used a folded sandpaper and stuck it between the door and the frame (sandpaper side facing the door edge) while sanding, to get a good fit. This method also created the bevel that you need. The door was hinged to the fuselage in it's final position.
Make sure that you allow for the paint and "bondo" before you stop sanding. If you sand too much, you can later tape the edge of the door and fill between the door and the frame.
Good thing about fiberglass, it is forgiving. Although I recommend that you get the best fit possible before resorting to "I'll fix it before painting".
The trim bevel is all the way around.
I am sure others will have nifty ideas about the doors.
Do not archive
