Default Inner doors

Detailing on the inner door is done with balsa sticks and .05" thick sheet styrene.

Inner door.

The hinge is a piano hinge with a removable pine.

Bracket that is attached to the door is aluminum angle cut down, tap threaded with two 2/56 button head screws.
I went with a smaller quick link and drilled it out to house the cylinder rood.
A flat grove is cut into the rod as I cut the treads off, this is a much better way to install then with a clevis or ball link.



The door is adjustable so I can get the proper open setting. The cylinder does not close all the way so it keeps constant pressure on the door in the closed position.



The balsa framing is 1/4" sticks installed to give the contouring desired.




I went with the styrene because it is very flexible and will couture to the different elevations of the frame and the curvature of the door.

There is a wheel indentation at the hinge to allow the wheel to pass the door when it goes in and out.

The sides are the same styrene cut and sanded. The styrene is very easy to work with and gives a great surface for painting and detailing.



You can see that the wheel just clears the door at the indentation.
The wheel sits in the wing with plenty of room and still does not bottom out.



Doing the three spar wing really paid off.
