Default RE: Nitro Models Kangaroo Mods - Sheeting

I have some options for the front gear door.

Option 1: An open bay with no doors. (obviously the easiest and lightest, but most drag and least "cool factor")

Option 2: A door at the front of the bay that swings forward along with the gear arm, and the rear half open with no door.

Option 3: A door at the front of the bay that swings forward along with the gear arm, and a door on the rear half that swings back. Rear door would be driven by the retract servo. (afraid that the door on the back will "scoop" and just get ripped off, for that matter, slightly worried about the front door for that reason)

Option 4: A door at the front of the bay that swings forward along with the gear arm, and bombay type doors on the rear. (would either require yet another servo, or some complicated mechanism to drive off of retract servo)

Option 5: Bombay type doors for the whole compartment. (again, servo or mechanism required, but probably maximum "cool factor")

Some pics to help visualize...
