* Again, if you plan to deepen the window pockets, a detail belt sander can be extremely useful for finishing out the window openings. This has other future uses as well (e.g. avionics cutouts, overhead console openings, etc). | * Again, if you plan to deepen the window pockets, a detail belt sander can be extremely useful for finishing out the window openings.

* Consider using [https://brassmonkey.tech/product-category/rv10-parts/ door mount capture plates] to make installing and removing the door much easier. On the cabin-top side, these are especially nice if you have the overhead console restricting access to the back side of the hinge plates. On the door side, these make it easier to epoxy and clean up the hinge mount point to the door. Either way, these make it quick and easy to remove the doors (which you'll do quite a few times). | * Consider using [https://brassmonkey.tech/product-category/rv10-parts/ door mount capture plates] to make installing and removing the door much easier.

* Four sensors to make sure the four door pins are properly latched are critical to flight safety. Here is one [https://airplane.allanglen.com/2023/11/05/door-pin-sensors/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExcWQyVmh4bnp6aWJwTmRpdAEeaL_OSWvmreEyzkA-dgA1Sob542t4S9NTZKGWetK2PuUAd9wIsMN-wWwznqg_aem_qPCxa2l8m6JcED0GZPidog alternative method] of mounting those sensors. | |||
