Hinging wheel doors
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out the bes way to get a tight fit and allow a 90* opening for the wheel doors on my P-51. I am pretty sure I can ge them to fall open with gravity and use a cable pull system to close them, but other than a piano hinge, I cant think of any other type of hinge I can use that would look right.
I am planning to skin the wing tomorrow and will then have a good idea of how to actually make the doors, and they will be pretty thin, but the area the hing will be I can make thicker since it will be in the center section of the wing and no obstructions, I have about 3/8" of room between W1 and the basswood blocks I glued in for the doors. Would CA hinges work for this if I install them so the hinge is at a 90* to each other when closed?<br type="_moz" />
