    Default Default Wide body IV Doors

    Got one more project finished this weekend!
    My IV had a standard one piece doors,that hinged at the top. These were custom made for the wide body mod. I desided to build cub style doors,top folds up
    btm. folds down. I built the lower doors first as tall as I could and still clear the
    wing strut. Then built the uppers. And all the misc. pieces! Will try to post some photos.

    Looks very interesting MIke. Does the bottom door make it awkward for entry and exit. Looks like it might get in the way. Have you been able to get much air time in your new fox yet.

    Hi Norm, so far my fox is still in my shop. No air time yet! I have forced
    Myself to finish my private ticket first. Almost done,still need to get the oral
    And check ride done but that's it!
    The door isn't in the way at all,I step on the tire and slide in like before.
    Looking forward to tail dragger time soon!
