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 Jan de Jong ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:53:52 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Weight and Balance From: Robert Borger 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. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop.
