Status: offline 		I imagine most of you use some type of hatch to hide the un-scale things we need to fly our planes (glow adapter, retract filler, etc..)..

My question is, what is the best way to do this? I figured I could build a box and put the cover on hinges but I'm stumped on how to do the latch. I don't want to do a screw.. Are there better ways?

the bwn latch can be found here..
