Attached is the picture from V2 build that I am thinking about for hatch latch setup and I am not sure how the Turtle Deck inside got Balsa where the hatch latch was attached. Is the same can be applied for VF3 too?? I beleive, some photos will be helpfull If you have.
Srekar...my bad! That picture is of a Patriot I built last year. I was trying to show one method of installing the latch so that daily use wouldn't mark up the fuse or canopy.
BTW - no foam in the turtle decks worked out fine! I wet the 1/16 wood, placed it in the shucks for a few days (without glue) and once dry, installed them with one former in the middle and one stringer across the top. After glassing it was plenty strong and easily saved a couple ounces.
