We have experience in doing one of the only two door ES's out there. The
factory was looking to us quite a bit for input during this process
since they had not done one themselves. I can tell you that the process
_was_ very interesting and different. First of all when you cut out the
second door opening, the upper fuselage looses a considerable amount of

Our two door ES has been complete for some time now. It is painted,
instrument panel ready and is only awaiting the final installation of a
brand new, and quite incredible, firewall forward package from RDM.

More to come....
