Baggage Door

Section 34 
It doesn't seem like an exciting section, but having a functional door on the plane is pretty neat.  Wasn't overly difficult but had it's own set of challenges.  Ensuring the hinge is lined up takes a bit of time.  Riveting the skin the frame is a bit awkward and resulted in a few smiley, in hind sight if someone would of been there to help me hold it, it probably would of turned out cleaner looking... oh well it's getting painted anyhow.


Inside
Open and Closes
It's done for now, I did go ahead and order locks and door seals.  For the locks I ordered Fort MFW1058 cam locks for the baggage and pilot door.  These use a cylindrical key which will hold up better over time, however you have to order (Part M930101211W010Jor make a longer cam for the baggage door.For the seals I went with 10 feet of McMaster-Carr 93085K67.

Done pending locks and seal
