An easy/short day today, I helped Judy and some women from church with their annual Christmas dinner for the womens group, Quiote and event! But it wiped me out ! Also had Parkers annual IEP review for his day program. Reassembled the hardware for the doors and then remounted them to the fuse. It seems like every time I moun these buggers they fit differently, at least the left door did this time, not a big deal but the latch mechanism was too tight. I want it on the tight side, as I figure it will loosen with use, but this was too much. some careful filing and emery cloth and its now acceptable. Then I positioined the magnets inside of the door latch pins and adjusted them for the Door Ajar warning lights. On 3 of the 4 doors I had to cut off some of the magnet so that it worked right. A bunch of trial and error fittings. But I'm very happy in that they continue to show the door is open until the latch moves into the 'over-center' position. i was worried that the handles might work themselves loos and open up in flight, but I talked w/ Gary F. who is flying with the same handles and he didn't think it was necessary, After refitting these, i tend to agree, if the handle should 'loosen' the door warning light will go On while there is still 1/8" of pin protruding throug the intercostal. and that doesn'lt take into effect the Riverhead capture fixtures that add another 1/4- 5/16". BTW I really think the Rivethead keepers ADD to the safety in that they help to guide/center the pins into the holes making it almost impossible to only get one pin latched.
