| Subject: | Re: access door hinges |
Further to my remarks regarding access door hinge pins: what I believe I
have learned.
I hope the pictures (ancient 2002 digital camera) make it a bit more
clear than last time.
1 To remove all excuse for not opening an access door before flight I
provide the door with a hinge and a quarter turn dzus fastener with a
winged stud for finger operation.
2 Planning
- In closed condition the fastener stud wing and the fastener receptacle
have parallel long dimensions; to be able to mount
the receptacle along the hole edge and have the stud wing parallel to
the wind in flight the hinge should also be mounted
parallel to the wind. I did differently and will suffer (I will make a
right angle receptacle as soon as I acquire a choice of
spring steel wire).
- If in sandwich skin: determine the contours - from inside to outside
(picture): line 1 door sandwich to door flange, line 2
hole outline, line 3 door outline, line 4 glass-glass flange to
sandwich; beware the room needed for hinge flanges (see 4 and
5 below) and the fastener receptacle
3 Making
- Remove the inner skin and foam with router bit and sandpaper between
lines 1 and 4, fair the edges
- 2 bid between lines 1 and 4, overlapping, and well overlapping the
foam outside line 4, peel ply
- Cut out the door along line 3, then tape up for release, then put in
place and tape flush with the fuselage outside skin
- 2 bid between lines 1 and 4, well overlapping the foam outside 4, peel ply
- File and sand the flange produced (for the door to sit against) to
size and shape
4 More planning
- The hinge line must be outside line 3 for the access door to open well
- The hinge flanges need flox beds for the hinges to end up flush with
the outer skin
- The hinge pin cannot be put in and taken out without surgery unless
cut up in pieces in advance
5 More making
- Make the hinge with a sectioned hinge pin and holes each end for a
cotter pin or safety wire
- Remove the flange between 2 and 3 and a little out towards 4 where the
outer hinge flange will be; leave the door (inside
line 3) alone
- Put the hinge together with greased moving parts, position, apply flox
beds, and apply pop rivets when cured
6 Check
- Displacing the hinge pin sections 1/4" should now release the door easily

Graham,
There are a number of apps that will calculate density altitude. There
are several E6B applications which do that along with the whole host of
other E6B calculations.

Does it also do density altituse, that's a common gotcha withspa,cans,
(less so with Europa)
but it's still possible to get caught out on a hot day, full load and
altitude, 200' feet was enough to almos
catch my friend out at Ecuvillance. I was RH seat, and we were over
gross with a 912 UL.
