Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

I've decided to make doors on this plane. I first had to gather info on the dimensions and scale them down as close as possible. I drew the outline with a pencil and ruler. I then used a dremel tool with a cut off wheel to get a clean straight cut.

Because there is now a gaping hole in the side of the fuselage, I'm going to construct an interior wall with 3/16 basswood and frame the interior for strenght. I have framed up the inside door and afterwards I'm going to lay a sheet of 1/16 balsa over it. I'll do the same with the interior.
