Fastbuild ES (same fuselage) at = Lancair build assist in fall 2005…

Door (frame & door) was bonded = into the top, with the top cleco’ed to the = bottom.

Used small super-glued stacked = tongue depressors and small nuts/bolts in temporary holes to get/hold spacing/alignment before bonding.

Door needs to open/close/latch = easily without any binding.

Then removed door, mixed/applied = flox, replaced door/frame to exact same position (spacers in place + = bolts)

Worked fine (not perfect, but what = is on these pre-Evolution Lanciar kits – wink)

Little area = to body work in the middle near the windows.
