Subject: Pietenpol-List: Gary Price doorThe door is 10 inches deep, On the inside of the fus. there is a 1x6xabout 13 or 14 inches making the lower doorway framing. Then you add a1x6 planks to the lower doorway plank. The front plank angles down tothe fwd. landing gear area. The rear plank angles down to the clusterwhere the pilots seat (butt) is. All is held together with 1/8 gussets.If I read the post from the fellow i the wheel chair, he was needing adoor in the rear cockpit for easier entry. I suppose it could be done,but you would need to extend the ply siding past the rear cockpit. Alsoyou are getting into the area where the fus. sides are tapering towardthe tail post. It would be hard, maybe impossible to bend the 1x6planks. Hope my description made sense. I If anyone has questions, bepatient. I'm having rouble with my isp. It has taken me as much as 2 hrsto get on line. Leon S.________________________________________________________________________________
