Ric,
    There are a couple of  "critical" screws and nut plates on the nose gear
door.  How about removing them entirely.  There are plenty more.
    Congratulations on the solo!

Bob


{I know we all disdain appurtenances sticking out into the windstream on
these fast-glass ships of ours, but what about removing the nutplates
from the offending area and bedding in those teeny locknuts on the 
outside of the gear door, then micro-ing them into a little ridge that
could be nicely streamlined.  Then the screws could be inserted from
inside which would completely eliminate the possibility of binding once
and for all.   Just a thought.....           <Marv>     ]
