thank you
Here you go, I wouldn’t do it this way again just to be clear. The panel is too long and I had to reinforce the tail to be safe. There’s a lot going on here with the retract location and the plate then the panel. I wanted the exterior panel to be removable and not carry any load. The 6 screws hold it on and the air cylinders move the doors, nothing else. Originally I wanted the radio system back here but then I moved it forward so that’s the main reason I say I wouldn’t do this again. The rudder servo is way back here too.
I used 4-40 flat head Allen screws and threaded inserts for hardware.
