Time to make servo hatches. The plans call for mounting the servos in b/wn a couple ribs on hardwood rails and the push rod exits through a slot in the covering material. No call for an access panel. It would seem the servo is to be covered over completely.



I'm going to go the servo hatch access door route.



I used 3/32" light ply so it would match the cap strips. I used the same light ply b/wn the ribs to form a frame for the door to sit on.



I used some balsa strips on the ends so the covering material would have something to grab on to.



I put some triangle stock on the underside for a little added support.



I used thick CA for all the bonding for this.
