Hi Skip,
I think that the elevation of the corners of the doors comes from the
original struts positioning. Just applying the mod and change the way
the
struts push on the doors when closed will solve for a large part. You
can
effectively accelerate the process by placing heavy weights, but this
will
be efficient on long term only if you apply the mod. Few hours of job
during
winter=92s bad MTO J

Hi Skip,
Weights [ shot or sand bag] on the door corners will in time recover the
doors to original shape, I have also used a luggage strap around the
fuselage with local wood [ 3'' long 1'' x 2''] intensifiers to do the
same
job.
Taking the gas struts off will speed up the recovery, but take care if
you
have the plastic ball joint sockets as they can only be sprung off a few
times before they come too loose.
Leave the plane out in the sun, let it come back slowly, could take
weeks !
Cheers,
Nev.

Subject: Europa-List: door warp
My mono wheel has been sitting up for an extended period in a warm
climate
and
the top rear corners of the doors have warped up slightly from where the
gas
struts pushed on them. (orginal strut position). Anyone have any
suggestions on
how I might get the corners back down to the orginal shape ?
thanks
Skip
