RANS S-21 OUTBOUND
DOOR ASSEMBLY - LEXAN AND TRIM - (FINISHING KIT)
Lexan windows scratch very easy. To get a longer service life from your
window, we recommend a soft terry cloth and a cleaner made for plastic.
RANS uses a product called Brillianize. It is available from RANS or any
large aircraft supply company.
IMPORTANT: The big no-no is cleaning a window while dry. NEVER dust
off a window unless you have sprayed on some sort of fluid. Dry dusting
will readily cut millions of fine scratches into the glazing, dimming its clear
optics.
If fuel is spilled on Lexan, wipe clean with a clean cloth immediately to lessen the
chance of crazing damage.
(BEFORE PAINTING OF DOOR FRAMES)
1.
Place 2x4 boards (1-1/2" thick) under Door Frame and check dimension of bow
tube of door per FIGURE 10H-01. Press down on bow tube. Check for proper
dimension. Repeat until proper dimension is obtained.
2.
Pin Door Frame in Fuselage and check for proper clearance with Fuselage.
Tweak Door Frame fwd or aft, as needed for clearance. Door should open and
close without hitting the Fuselage tubes. The Door Frame may be painted or
powder coated.
(AFTER PAINTING OF DOOR FRAMES)
Re-check Door Frame for proper dimension as above.
3.
Position the Upper Trim Strip to the inside of the upper Door Frame with the
lower edge of the Trim Strip flush with the inside of the Door Frame tube. Slide
the Upper Trim Strip forward until the lower forward corner of the Trim Strip is
flush with the forward side of the Door Frame tube. Trim the strip to follow the
same angle as the forward Door Frame. Trim AFT edge flush with AFT edge of
Door Frame. Refer to FIGURE 10H-03. Transfer drill #30 into Door Frame.
Locate and drill an additional #30 hole in the AFT end at the intersection of the
Door Frame tubes. Remove, debur and rivet.
4.
Mark a centerline on the door frame tubes. Refer to FIGURE 10H-04. Position
FWD, AFT and Lower Door Trim over outboard side of Door Frame. Clamp the
Trim to the Door Frame as shown in the parts manual.
NOTE: The row of holes in each Strip will align on the Door Frame
centerline. Refer to FIGURE 10H-04.
5.
Lower Door Trim will be positioned on outboard side of AFT Door Trim.
