| Subject: | Door Latch Summary? |
8/24/2010
Hello Scott, I looked at your pictures (under What's New on the web site)
and have some questions:
http://www.kisbuild.onfinal18.com/
1) In the third picture down from the top there is a cross ship notch cut
into the door sill fuselage top rail. What is the purpose of that notch?
2) How did you cut out the aluminum flat handle?
3) Also in the section marked More Great Construction Photos, third photo
down with the engine description caption, a white dividing line appears in
your windshield. Why is that?
Thanks,

It seems that the factory door latch system works as long as both the front
and rear pins are engaged. It's pretty easy to close the door and have the
front pin engage properly, but the rear pin be on the outside of the
fuselage. It only takes once and the door will probably come off in flight.
My door latch is totally different and there are pictures on bob's website.
I think it's pretty bullet proof, cheap and simple.

Hello Ted,
Do you have a TR-1? Is it built or under construction?I have a TR-1 and
built the doors and latches per the manual except I added a mini dead bolt
to the right door, to positively lock that door in flight. I also added a 1"
X 4" leather pull strap screwed to the door just above the handle. It has a
piece of Velcro on the other end and after closing the door it lays across
the handle and is held into position by the Velcro. This definitely
qualifies for cheep! Works good, 400+ hrs and still have the original doors!
I can take a couple pictures if are interested.
Tim

I do not want to interupt the current stream of control system summary
information,but at the appropriate time could we look at the Door Latch
problem[loosing doors inflight].
Lyles device looks excellent but perhaps some" Aussie farmer" has come up
with a simple add on that is" Quite" good[and cheap].
Respectfully
Ted
