RE: Yellow P-38 build thread
Inner Flaps access panel.
There's not a lot of room in there so I decided to cut an access hatch.

A dremel cut off disk made quick work of the hole.

Rudders (continued).

Not much room in there so I drilled a hole where the bottom of the balsa support is suppose to end so I could look in the hole and just push the balsa support until I saw the balsa support through the hole.

Note that this balsa hinge support also gets the rudder control horn so there is a 1/8" ply also CA'ed to the side of the balsa block.
Since the control horns go on the inside of the booms, I made sure the ply is on the inside of each rudder and then scratched in a mark so I can tell later 'which is which'.
