hey all - 



forgive me if i sound like a bummer all the time, but remember when i posted that i couldn't see all of the dimples molded into the door halves?  well, the ones i could see i drilled holes in like you're supposed to, and i figured that all would become apparent when i got them together.  well, now the holes that i do have drilled don't line up with eachother when i try to cleco the door halves together.  i get 3 clecos in, and the other 2 holes that i do have drilled in the doors don't line up.  about 1/8" off in the worst case.  so, the question is, do i get it together so that it looks like i think it should and move on?  am i setting myself up for a disaster later?  i'd love some feedback on this.  i'm not sure if i'm just being a baby, (waaa, my parts don't fall together perfectly) or whether this is an issue that will bite me later.



thanks

I am going to take a shot at this considering that I am not there  

admiring your problem.  I think that if your door halves mate nice  

and snug against each other, the doors are not twisted when they sit  

on the fuselage and you have the same clearance around the door  

(looking from the inside), you are good to go.

I'd agree with Rob, cj....if you match the halves up good, and the gap

around the inside looks nice, there's not a whole lot to worry about.

The outside gets trimmed to fit, so you just need to ensure the

inside looks respectable.  Also, you can verify that the window

opening area looks reasonably nice together.   Other than this as

guidance, it's hard to know what else to give without being right

there to see it first hand.
