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...

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?

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. -------- OSH '10 or Bust Q/B - finally done Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=302552#302552 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-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/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-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.
