Brief Description:  Install Baggage Door

After painting the various baggage door bits and pieces, I began final installation. I riveted the door frame pieces to the fuselage. I then determined that after final installation, the door fit was not as tight as it was using just clecos. I ended up making a new hinge that attaches to the fuselage bracket. I decided a bit ago to install that hinge half with #4 screws vice pop rivets in order to facilitate future door removal. I also had to do a bit of tweeking of the the door edges to get an acceptably fit. After all was said and done, the results were quite good. It would be great if Van's could develep a better baggage door hinge versus the piano hinge.
