Bubble Doors

I am replacing my first generation bubble doors with tube supports on my 701 with second generation bubble doors with fiberglass support for the acrylic .  Does anyone out there have any experience with this?  Will I have to alter the sill height?  Will the hardware transfer to the new door?

Thanks, Vann

Landing light installation

Does anybody know the best way to cut the hole in the slat (of a 750 stol) for the landing light.

Thanks in advance for any ideas?

Looking for some consultation

Say folks... wondering if there is anyone within reasonable distance in and around the Austin Texas area willing (and interested) in getting together to share ideas and builders support?  I am well into my Ch701.. but.. the more technical aspects are challenging, i.e., bending aluminum skins to form elevator.. wings, etc... I would like to get things right the first time around..

Starting to cleco firewall

After making lots of parts and remaking a few, I finally get to start drilling and clecoing the firewall together.

I mounted the firewall onto 80/20 stock with extra steel angle and magnets so I can work on it standing up.

The 80/20 is connected with hinges, so I can tilt the firewall back  to allow continued loose fit up

The fuselage can be seen behind and is similarly supported with 80/20,steel angle and magnets. .…
