6 1/2 years and 1760hours in, I'm glad to be past the bulk of electrical work. Powering up the panel was exciting and went well. Now on to the top skin, wind screen, and baggage door.
I plan to proseal the inside skin to the door formers with clecos, hold in place with straps for a few days, then install blind rivets. Currently it takes quite a bit of pressure to get the door to lay down flat. Other than that the door fits nicely.
1. If I strap it down and proceed as above, will the door shape spring back after I unclamp it?
2. I would like to reshape the formers to take a slight bit of curve out so that light pressure would hold it in place but I can't think of a good way to do it with the outside skin already riveted on. Any ideas on how to stretch the inside curve of the former?
3. Any other words of wisdom?
