Mar 29, 2022     Two Point Door Latchs - (15 hours)       Category: Fuselage
I opted for the two point door latches and what a pain to get installed. Almost wish I had just gone with the single point latch. Had to cut an access in my bubble door windows which was certainly not my favorite thing to do. Getting the fore/aft rods dialed in took a lot of time and patience. One of the issues was installing the spring on the forward rod. Turns out the washer that the spring pushes up against the guide bracket does not sit straight. It hits the bracket which makes it sit at an angle to the shaft and causes it to drag. The fix was to file a notch in the washer to clear the bracket and let it sit flat to the bracket and straight on the shaft. Back to doing fun stuff.
