Default RE: Main Hatch fitting


ORIGINAL: Ian R

Two long piano wires, through tubes that start somewhere convienent near the cockpit with a small right angle bend to pull on. The wire and tube is through the fuselage into a tube in the hatch to the back of the hatch and out into the rear fuselage tube. I did the same on an F16 and used poly tabs as well on the side to ensure alignment

works 100%

Ian, this method is used to secure the front nose hatch on the BVM MiG15, and works well, problem is I cannot get anymore cables or snakes into the engine bay area, its full to bursting! If I could the cockpit area is also full to bursting - this kit is really tight on space.

Appreciate the feedback though, it is a great method and works a treat.
