Rather than taking the Cabin top off and then putting/clecoing it back on. I decided to jump ahead and work on the doors. I need to get the door hinges attached to the Cabin top before installing the overhead. Also reportedly there is quite a bit of time involved in installing the doors. Based upon today's time just to trim the 4 door shells, I can believe it. Used the cutoff wheel and the die grinder, Made a LOT of dust!! Had one Oops, in that I cut off the aft tab on one of the interior door shells. This tab is used to locate the door on the fuse while curing, but I believe that once the shell is mated to the outer shell, that I can use (reinforced) that tab for accuracy and location. There are a lot of scribe lines that need to be drawn, and those on the outside of the door shells need to be laid out by hand. Sanded all edges to get a relatively straight edge to work with. The next weeks/months high level plan is. 1, finish Cabin top & Overhead. 2. Finish Doors 3. Install landing Gear. 4. install gear leg fairings 5. Mount engine .......Talked to Allen today they should finish with the engine next week some time, so it looks like it will sit for a but of time before getting hung. Also talked to Aero Composites and the prop should be ready late Nov.Sat Update: Sanded all of the matching/bonding surfaces. 1 hr.
