RE: WACO YMF
Ken,
damifino and I were talking this morning about the hatch. I used small DuBro pinned hinges (2) at the top of the hatch and a rare earth magnet to secure the hatch at the bottom, Mine has 3 sub formers and the lid is from 1/8th balsa (grain lengthwise) The hatch needs a dummy latch handle to look right. I have tried offset hinges and several others, but due to the asymetrical design of the hatch, the DuBro's work best. Be sure to mount it before you cover everything. Don't glue the hinges in until after you complete the covering job. I would reccomend that you make the access hatch (one side at least) behind the cowl on the side of the fuse to keep your fuel dots concealed. You could do one side for fuel, and the other for smoke, or to charge the battery for the on-board glow driver. Rare earth magnets work well here, and just use another magnet to pull the hatch open.
