My Feedback: (221)

For reinforcement, I install an aluminum doubler inside the sliding portion. This also has the mounting points connected to it in both the front and rear. Because through bolts like the ones attaching the frame to the clear would scrape on the fuselage, I drill and tap these 1/8" 2-56 bolts into the aluminum and make sure they are flush on the inside. The locations are noted here in blue. There will be one more in the rear that will also be the rear mount, and (2) more in the front that WILL be through bolts holding the front mounts.

I tape the inside of the clear during this process because when you grind the bolts flush to the aluminum, the tiny hot metal debris will pit the soft clear plastic if left exposed.
