undercarriage doors

[gill]

have replaced broken bulkhead and am now repairing hole in underside  will shortly need to make new undercarriage doors, on my glider they are made of aluminium and badly damaged. is aluminium or glassfibre the norm?

[Johan van Ravenzwaaij]

Originally they are made from glassfibre. The aluminium doors are in use by the bomber version of the 15 ;

  kind of thought that myself, thanks for that, another interesting project to make my head spin......hope poor 15 can remember which is the right way up when its all done

Gill,

I have a set of doos.

Well ok, most 15 owners do but I have two: one fitted/flying and one spare. Both GRFP ;-) Not prepared to let the spare one go, however I could borrow them out to s.o. so he can take a mold.

Let me know,
Dirk

Thanks for that kind offer, will certainly let you know if need to take you up on it 
I believe that we will be able to take moulds from glider/old doors, so am looking forward to more learning
wherever you fly your 15 i hope your weather has been kinder than ours

regards
Gill
