Gentlepeople,
I've attached the door hinges to the doors per the manual and notice
that it calls for the tangs of the door mouldings at the hinges to be
trimmed to create a gap of 5/16" at the hinge recess in the fuselage
top moulding in order to fully raise the doors. I'm noticing what seems
like an odd geometry in that the ends of the tang recess is not
parallel to the hinge pin line.
The result appears to be a 5/16" x approx. 2" slot of varying depth in
our otherwise slick and clean fuselage top.
Going by the old saw of "think 3 times, measure twice, cut once",
before I cut, I'm wondering if some clever fellow has figured out a
way to avoid this slot, or is this something which everyone lives with?
Or have I misinterpreted the plans?
Has anyone deepened the tang recesses in order to for the tangs to
remain full length (with no slot) while providing clearance for the
tang when the door is fully open?
Or have I, by even considering such a minute detail, once again,
slipped off that precipice separating conscientious building and
obsession?
All comments gratefully appreciated, though I will not be able to
acknowledge any until Friday!
Thanks,
Fred
