The inner gear doors are complete, (see photos). I used light ply to trace the contour of the front and back of the openings and 1/4"x1/2" balsa to join them and sheeted with 1/8th" balsa. Surface mounted mini servos with the servo horns glued to the inside of the door with a adjustable connector on the servo output arm. The doors are covered with white monokote and the trim color is model masters brass paint for air brush application. The color match is not exact but close and it's on the bottom so I hope I don't get to many complaints about the match.I installed and set up the door sequencer w/3sec. delay to be sure the gear will not interfer with them. they are mounted to the fuse with Great Planes fabric hinges and CA glued. If anyone has any suggestions or comments I would be greatful.
