Rob ,

I finished my gearwells and doors some weeks ago and I have a few tips for
you. I also have the BIG wheels.

- If your foamblocks for the bellypan ended up being rather thin you are
going to have problem fitting the wheels in the wells heightwise (trust
me, I know!)  You will have to remove some core material inside the
stubwing skin and warm up the doors and "bend" them.  My point is: Do
not finish off the doors, floxing the edges and so on before the stubwing
skin is in place, because you might have to make the doors slightly bigger
when they have been "bent"

Fwd an aft location of the door cutout -  your guess is correct, but don't
forget the lip.

One more thing: the centerline of the outboard door pivot is on the drawing
to much outboard.  Move it inboard ca. 1/4 inch, if not your door will "hit"
the lower stubwing skin when the gear is is down.
