Thanks Jos...I appreciate your perspective as one who indeed persevered 
and found it to be worthwhile...yes, those walking away and see later 
days do add up...I feel I'm at one of those stages where one has to 
keep his eye on the ball even when you can't see the ball...Fred

Actually Jos, that was yesterday...Today I managed to get my shoot 
bolts engaged in the fuselage for the first time...the hinges seem to 
work...and I have a hair line gap between top of fuselage and end of 
tang when the doors are closed!

Now...if I can eliminate the 3/32" bulge at the middle of the port side 
door lower edge, I'll be a happy camper!

Fred

PS: Was not able to email you directly off-list...my computer sez 
there's something wrong w/ your address....(?)
