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. Bud Yerly, Custom Flight Creations, Inc.

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. -------- Regards Kelv Weston Kit 497 kelv@kdweston.biz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=472990#472990 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:04:53 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Trip report ; to visit Queen Elizabeth (HMS) From: "graeme bird" Someone may be interested https://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=105436 -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY - Mono Classic/XS FFW 912S, Woodcomp 3000/3W CS, trutrak Gemini 2 axis AP, PAW, PFLARM core, ads-b out, 8.33khz, mode S, FP-5, Aera500, SD on Nexus, SmartA3 290 hours & 5 years on the Mono, 930 total g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473011#473011 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:06:44 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Fitting the Doors From: "Kelvin Weston" 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. -------- Regards Kelv Weston Kit 497 kelv@kdweston.biz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473012#473012 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:24:27 PM PST US From: Robert Borger Subject: Re: Europa-List: Trip report ; to visit Queen Elizabeth (HMS) Graeme, Very impressive ship!

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.

Has any one used them? 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. in friendship Rowland | Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ... | http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk | Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
