Just to let everyone know since I’ve received a number of inquiries, I do have the Outback door panels.  In fact, as far as I can tell from the inventory sheets, I have everything, save maybe a few bolts or other basic building materials, that came with the original kit.  I even have a couple of cans of 10 year-old Hysol!  But don’t worry, I bought some new stuff before I started adhering parts.

 

I was asking because I assumed there was some good way to line up the door panels before I cut the next one.  The best advice I received yet was to cut small and keep enlarging the hole until the door fits.  If it should be the exact size of the door, I have some work to do to make the existing hole just right.  I was more interested in making sure the door was cut in the right place as opposed to the right size.  As far as I can tell, there are no markings on the inboard wing moldings.  If they once were there, they have faded over time.  I can, however, still read the markings from the incidence line on the wing ribs.

 

Thanks everyone for your help!  I have a challenging  project ahead of me and I’m glad this resource (LML) exists.  I’ve found a ton of valuable information in the archives that I can use to help with my build.

 

Also, I haven’t seen any discussions of this, but Lancair now charges to execute a change of ownership form.  See Lancair’s change of ownership form on their web site for details. From what I can tell, this is a relatively recent change. (Within the past year)
