Drill a hole into the fuselage at the center, half way between the shoot
bolts that hold the door closed and centered on the fuselage lip. The width
of the hole is determined by how far you want the egg to drop into the hole.
I used ~ 1"circumference so the hole squeezes the egg about a third of the
way up it.

Hello
            My impression of previous emails and articles in the Club
magazine says "it better be a tiny hole" because some considerable
structural integrity is dependent upon a secure doorsill. The PFA warns
against decreasing the sill strength in all but a small way - and even then
suggests careful scrutiny ever after.
            Previous emails and articles refer.
