I love the sound of the door frame connecting with the rest of the plane. No clunk, bang, bounce. Just click. And it’s not even finished. Sound like high quality. Excellent work. Excellent team.

[@beachboardfan9544]

25:00 The door mating surfaces should be at an angle to each other, like two 45 degree angles. With them as they are now, if you crash and the frame flexes you run the risk of the door itself getting pinched in the door opening. If they're angled and the frame flexes due to a crash the door will get pushed out of the door opening and you'll be able to escape.

[@fighterace140]

Interesting, never thought of that...

[@davewilshere]

It’s nearly all carbon, it will either flex and return or break. It’s not like metal frames/doors which can bend and set.

[@PapaPilot88]

[@bluereaper88]

15:00 Now that's what I would call some fun family time. Great to see all of you again!

[@stevenscott432]

I was surprised you didn’t make a door on both sides. One of the coolest things I remember about flying a Bellanca Scout years ago was that both windows would swing up and latch on the wing and you could literally fly in an “open” cockpit.

[@jginmt]

I wonder if the decision was made in case of a crash to have the window fixed. Or maybe noise consideration. Mike let us know why you decided on one fixed window.

[@brandonthompson9957]

I would guess visibility. Full window vs. the bottom section having to contain a latch mechanism. Just a guess though

[@samroesch]

Yeh, seems less ideal for egress in a crash, if one side is blocked shut or has hazards (fire)

[@dhyde9207]

[@hackofalltrades446]

Awesome pro tip using tape to set your "trim to" point for making composite bits... I've always done the same thing "inside out" I suppose for making parts out of aluminum, to where the tape would become a sacrificial barrier, and a movable point to file and stress relieve to. I've never thought about forming it into a piece of composite like that, especially since it's all going to get turned into dust like you said... I can't wait to see this thing out and about when it's flyable!

[@tcerickson2621]

Cool. The 7 of cubs club. Merry Christmas Mike and family.

[@sergiocartaya4513]

Mike... concerning your non-opening window on scrappy: you are limiting your emergency egress from the aircraft. Should you land (crash) with your opening window against the ground you would be trapped inside the aircraft. How easy and speedy would it be to kick out the permanent window.
