I was doing so well on my doors, in fact, getting a bit cocky. I have been reading all the old posts, taking advantage of others learning curve. Thinking to myself?.those poor RV10 Pilgrims , the issues and tribulations they suffered, I am so lucky to have all the wisdom of previous posts??..
Not sure how I did it, but seems I drilled the forward hole in the 1042 Bulkhead Side Channel for the door pin about 3/32? outboard of where it should be and now the forward edge of the door sits proud once the pin is engaged argh? ?&^%&%^!\!!?. ? now I am one of the poor unfortunate souls in Door purgatory.
I think my options are
1) Build up the fuselage skin with epoxy micro just ahead of the proud door? I seriously doubt my skills in this endeavor??
2) Rivet some type steel doubler over the existing hole and re-drill
3) Other
Your wisdom is appreciated
