Doors Preparation - Initial Preparation

I have broken the door preparation into several sections to keep the individual pages smaller and give some logical sections.

	The first step in preparing the doors is to trim the opening to fit the doors.  This is one of the weak points for this plane because the resulting lip is way too narrow.  I trimmed just enough to allow the door to fit.  I also tried to keep the width of the lip constant where possible.  Additional trimming may be needed but WAIT until you know how much is needed.
	The lip should be uniform with, front and back, top to bottom.
	After trimming the edges of the door to smooth the edges place the door in the opening and position for a uniform opening.
	In order to aid the positioning of the door I tack glued 1/4 inch thick blocks of Balsa wood around the door opening.  These work great because the Balsa will compress easily to allow positioning the door and tacking it in place before installing the window and outter skin.
	This shows the door in position and ready to start installing the door windows.  Note the very uniform gap along the edge of the door.  Besure to work on your positioning until the door fits without having to twist it into position.  In this photo the door is only attached by the clecoes and is sitting in proper position without any adheasive.
