Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

I had to go to the hobby shop to pick up some extra wood for the construction of the interior. I'm going to use 1/8 X 1/4 balsa strips as support that will outline the door and windows. I'm going to lay 1/16 balsa over the 1/8 stips to provide as the new interior wall. After I get off work I think I'm going to outline the door dimensions so that I can begin cutting out the door. I'm still curious as to what hinges I need to use. I could make my own out of 1/32 or 1/16 brass sheets and cut them to size, then I would use a small pushrod as the hinge pins and with my table vise, bend the brass over the shape of the pushrod to ensure an even diameter with the pin to hold the hinge together.
