Just bumping this thread because AirVenture is getting close. The FAQs, chart with info for those that have contacted me and other misc stuff is linked from: http://www.myrv10.com/osh/
There are about a dozen of us so far - usually winds up being 25-30 and most of
the time about half are in the last week. Looks like we're on track for a last
minute scramble again...

Hi
After a fun filled day, I installed my baggage door. It is quite flush with
the surrounding skins except for the top edge which is proud of the door
opening.
Does anyone have any ideas as to the best way to handle. One idea I had was
to bend the door edge inward. Alternatively I could build up the area above
the door with a bit of fibreglass.
Are there better ideas?
Cheers
Les

I had the identical problem and it almost drove me insane. I looked at the bulging
door for two years during the build process. I finally could not accept the
crappy looking bulge, so I ordered all new door parts from Vans to fabricate
a new door. Then after I got the new parts, I decided to mess around with the
old door. I disassembled the upper pieces (drilled the rivets out). I bent the
frame to the proper dimensions, and put it back together carefully with clecos
and finally rivets. Amazingly I then had a perfectly fitted door. You will
be able to see it at OSH this year - N943MA. If you fail, I can send you the
new door parts which are still sitting in my garage (1/2 price naturally).
In thinking about it after the fact, I became a better metalsmith after those two
years and looked at the problem as more of a challenge and less of a frustration.
PS - You will see other RV10's with the bulge at OSH. Remember nobody has a perfect
plane, but you just don't want it to show.
