Rick,
These were taken (obviously) before final finishing, but show the
basics; rear tangs done similarly. After fitting the hinges as per the
manual and dremeling out the cavity inboard of where the hinges mount,
the trick was to trim the end of the tang at the same angle it has w/
the top of the fuselage that results when the door is raised fully as
shown in the 3rd photo. After determining the angle, I cut a scrap of
skin to fit the wedge, used some 5 minute epoxy, then buttered its
underside w/ flox. When door is closed, everything planes out very
nicely.
