 Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2015 5:50 pm Post subject: Crack with Door Latch Fit |
 |
|
Had and accident tonight while fitting door pin guides for RV-10 door. While testing door latch fit, the front pin was not engaged as it should have been and slipped to side skin and torn it as shown in pictures. Any thoughts on a fix - quite disappointed in myself at the moment.....

I feel for you but I think you'll be just fine because that area usually gets faired over with glass to smooth the transition between the cabin top and the airframe.
I would clean it up so its burr free and flat, then plan on filling it with flox, and then fair it into the airframe with balloons. It should hide that transition. Your biggest concern is making sure it's burr-free so you won't have any future cracking. (Though it looks to be stop drilled pretty well with that rivet).
Just my thoughts on it. I think you'll be A-OK at the end of the project.

No big deal. I would drill out two rivets, make an .063 plate to span the three rivets adjacent to the pin block, and cover it up. Looks like the tear goes right to the rivet hole so you don't even need to stop-drill it.
It may not be the last time that happens--it's happened to me a few times. As you see more 10s you'll see a lot of people addressed that problem. A stout doubler will keep a the tear from happening again.
Another thing you might strongly consider is replacing the teflon guide blocks with aluminum pieces, same dimensions.

Don't beat yourself up, we've all had those little bumps in the road. I had something similar and after removing the rivet used JB weld and re riveted. Might not have been the best fix but you cannot tell it ever happened. after paint.
