OU Aviation Festival & Baggage Door

Started off the day taking my daughter to the OU Aviation Festival. It is a small festival but it is cool to get to see those in the local aviation community come together and share their love and passion for flight. Cailey enjoyed getting the chance to see the helicopters and other static displays and going through the STEM hangar.

Afterwards we got home and I helped her in the simulator upstairs in practicing her flying. I need to get my FAA currency up to date so I can take her up more often and let her fly with me. But afterwards I got the parts for the baggage door primed and everything riveted together. I then started looking forward to the baggage door hinge frame and there’s a bit of an alignment issue on the top of the part. I don’t see this as being a huge show stopper as I might just reem these out to match the holes the way they align now, but every hole on that frame aligns except for the top two. Very odd and I can’t push it to align it or even use an awl to get it to align. It just will not get close enough to align up. I mean we’re talking a good 1/8″ off here. Either way, I posted the question to the FB RV-10 group to see what they might say and maybe I can get some answers or insight there.
