Use a blind bush, that's what we did on Paul McA's.
Jonti Docker was the guy who Ivan persuaded to build the fuselages. Nice
guy. He suggested glueing half of a 1/2 inch ball onto the bottom of the
door and a matching recess in the door frame. THe door is flexible enough
to latch into it on closing but once the shoot bolts are in it will lock in
place; the draft under the bulging edge of the unrestrained door will no
longer tug at your shirt sleeve and startle you!.
I have not yet seen anyone do this mod, I have an idea it was done on
G-ELSA, the second prototype, Andy?
