Default RE: New A7 from FEJ

The first photo shows the inner door cylinders could have been installed vertically on a sub-former located forward of the door cutout or installed at an angle on the mid-former (similar to the outboard doors). This photo also shows the poor quality joints between the turbine mounting rails and the three supporting formers. These joints should be reinforced with wood blocks to transfer the load between the rails and the former skins.

The second photo is of the inside skin of the left side of the fuselage around the forward edge of the left main landing gear door. Notice how the coloring of the inner skin is inconsistent and milky white in some areas. You also see inconsistent coloring of the inner skin in the first photo. This indicates a lack of consistency in applying the adhesive holding the inner skin to the core. In some areas, particularly around the gear cutouts which appear to have been saw-cut, you can see that the inner skin may have delaminated from the core.

Regards,

Jim
