Till, I am not talking about using wet tar to seal the door after it's shut.
You put a layer of pitch around the mating sufaces of the door and flanges
where the edge of the door meets the flanges at the door cutout on the ark.
Simple common sense.The layer of pitch suppose to be dryed out when used.
It's the same principal airplanes use to seal their doors in flight. You
close the door and the seals of the door meets the flanges of the door
cutout on the fuselage. The same thing applies to what I am talking about in
reqards to the ark, Till. The exacy same way, Till. You don't use wet tar to
seal the door after it's shut. As long as the door is shut, it won't leak.
Hogging of the ark is an easy problem to overcome. It wasn't a problem when
the Spruce Goose first lifted off the water. The wings and fuselage was
supported at a single point. It didn't break apart as some marine engineers
predicted. In fact, it got off the water despite the prediction of the
engineers, and it was only a high speed taxi. It just jumped off the water.
The copilot was surprised and looked at Howard Huges when the plane lifted
off the water. Hogging wasn't a problem for the 320 wingspan or the
fuselage. You can used tradition construction techniques to overcome any
potential problems of hogging. It's no big thing. So what's the problem?
