Brief Description:  Finish Sanding Hinge Pocket Covers, Install Gas St

1248 - 1512

Finished sanding hinge pocket and third latch covers, blending with door contours.

Sand fuselage hinge pockets, smooth contour.

Temporarily install doors on fuselage.

The Bansbach gas strut hinge ends are drilled to 8.2 mm. I decided to enlarge these holes to 3/8" to facilitate fabrication of bushings.

Fabricated bushings from nylon to fit between strut bracket faces.

Installed gas strut to fuselage bracket.

Installed door brackets with washers on rod end of strut.

Clecoed strut brackets to door.

Verify operation of doors.

These struts, as expected, have more than sufficient force to open the bare door and will be perfect with interior installed. For the present, care will be required to ensure that the doors are raised carefully.
