Alister,
I saw the photo of your Rebel on the Murphy site, it looks great!

I noticed that the doors on your Rebel are Lexan (?) and I was
wondering about how noisy the cabin is. Some time ago I recall
Bob P mentioning that the Lexan doors on C-FPES (Factory Demo)
cause the cabin to be noisy. I was wondering what your
experience has been and whether you are able to determine if the
primary source of increased noise is due to the rattling of the
lexan against the fuselage or the noise attenuation through the
lexan? Of course, one could always use a good headset and enjoy
the view.

Hi all again,
I'm building doors and plan on hingeing the window at the top. Is there enough room above the door frame and below the wing to attach the hinge flat to the fuselage? Or do I want to attach the hinge to the inside surface of the door opening and the outside surface of the window?
Thanks,

Inside surface of the fus door frame and use the hinge as your doubler on
top of the Lexan to the window frame. Looks nice and clean that way.

I always open the lexan holes from the #30 of the rivet size to 5/32 so no
stress is put on it when the rivets are pulled.

If you're concerned with water leakage...consider the door and window are
under the wing. Pretty much a non-issue. If you are refering to the alum
skin to the alum frame of the lower section of the door. Epoxy just like all
the other bulkhead to skin joints you've made.

FWIW in addition to Wayne's comments I used aluminum "pop" rivets with
aluminum mandrels so that the rivets didn't expand radially so much and
so that they didn't pull as tight as avex. Probably overkill but it's a
thought.

I guess I never gave the seats so much thought. But I did see a brief

about a 90 degree angle!!

He was referring to the SR and I >THINK< it has skin doublers like I did on
Howard's Rebel doors. Maybe I'm just referring to the doors I did!

The Rebel had you cut the door skins to fit the frames and then add .032
doublers to rivet between the skin and frame to be the door gap filler. We
took it a step further and left the door skin oversize and put the .032
behind it, bonded the two together with Proseal to reinforce. Makes for a
much cleaner looking assembly with a seam free door skin instead of strips
of .032 with cut lines showing on the corners.

Does one put some sort of seal on the gap filler?

He was referring to the SR and I >THINK< it has skin doublers like I did
on
Howard's Rebel doors. Maybe I'm just referring to the doors I did!

The Rebel had you cut the door skins to fit the frames and then add .032
doublers to rivet between the skin and frame to be the door gap filler. We
took it a step further and left the door skin oversize and put the .032
behind it, bonded the two together with Proseal to reinforce. Makes for a
much cleaner looking assembly with a seam free door skin instead of strips
of .032 with cut lines showing on the corners.

Thanks Wayne,
No, the reason I ask about the sealant is due to a comment you made
recently
that maybe I don't understand.
You wrote:
Proseal does a good job. Rivet it together and leave clamped with spring
clamps around the perimeter till it cures. Clean the edge with a knife
afterwards. U are referring to the door jam overlap on the door skins
where
you reinforce with .032 or similar?

What do you mean here?
Thanks,

I always open the lexan holes from the #30 of the rivet size to 5/32 so
no
stress is put on it when the rivets are pulled.

If you're concerned with water leakage...consider the door and window
are
under the wing. Pretty much a non-issue. If you are refering to the
alum
skin to the alum frame of the lower section of the door. Epoxy just
like
all
the other bulkhead to skin joints you've made.
