You are correct in your assumptions. The gap on the sides and bottom is wh
at folks look at. For initial fitting, the sides can be a popsicle stick.
Final prior to paint should be 1/8 inch for primer and paint. Do round of
f slightly the sharp edges prior to final prime and paint. I like 1/8 all
around the sides and sill on final finish for esthetics, but just make it e
ven.
The top has to allow full clearance of the curve. The tabs on the side can
be tight at 3/32" after hinges are finalized. Of course the tab has to be
fitted to the rebate. Some require a 3/8" gap sanded to clear for paint o
n full opening.
Have fun make it fit perfectly now and it pays dividends later on.

Hi All
I am just about to tackle fitting the doors.
After reading the build manual 12 times and Bud's excellent 'Door Fitting'
article several times, I am pretty sure I know what I need to achieve.
However, a couple of questions before I set to it with the Permagrit block:
1. What sort of gap am I trying to get between the door flange and the fus
elage recess? A mixing stick? or a bit more?
2. Is it a good idea to slightly round off and lose the sharp edge off the
inner and outer edges of the door flange to prevent paint flaking and chip
ping?
Also, I am assuming that all door fitting is completed before fitting any d
oor seals.

Thanks Bud
Having yours and Nev's advice, hints and tips next to the build manual chapter
always gives me that extra confidence to get started and get the job done.
I don't know how many are still building here in the UK and elsewhere but the number
is getting smaller for sure.
It is the advice and encouragement from yourself and others on this forum that
helps get us 'long time builders' closer to our own first flights.
Many thanks.

| Subject: | Cheap VOR/LOC/GS |
I missed this post,
I=92ve looked at Val Electronics for years. I know a few RV guys that have
them. They can be remoted or in panel. The VOR/ILS with head is too deep
for the Europa panel so I never pursued it.
They back up their product. I=92m not sure how it holds up to the heat, bu
t Chief Airproducts likes them and sells them. Com fits a standard 7 inch
hole and the VOR/ILS with indicator is a 3 1/8=94.

Never heard of them!
I note that the copyright notice on their product page is datestamped 2014-
2015, which does not give the impression that they have done anything very
exciting lately.
