Door installation

[Nathaniel]

If anyone has pics of their door installation (building an SS, but aren't they all pretty similar?) I'd appreciate some photos.

I'm having a hard time seeing how the aluminum door frame fits into the fuselage. Does the plexi overlap the door frame of fit to spec?

Hit a couple build sites so far, no luck. Thanks in advance.

Here is a couple of pics. also John McBean has a photo album on door frame fitting..

Thanks for the pics. Your door handle is totally different that what I've got but the placement makes sense now.

I've got the door frame angles already installed. Working on the rest of the door install and it's making little sense so far. I'm also missing about 90% of the parts, so I've got that going for me.

I have a question on gluing the door frame angles. Where do you glue them? Just in a few spots or full length top, sides, or both?

Thanks for the pictures. I am working on a V and the door angles are the new ones for the 7. Trying to find out where do I apply the epoxy?

I applied a thin coat to all surfaces in contact. It ain't falling off.
