Stangevil29,

Give me a couple days to post pix. I'm really busy!!! Basically I made a rectangular "ring" out of birch ply and glued it around the perimeter of the opening on the inside of the fuse. I then drilled eight holes around the edges of the hatch so it can be screwed to the ring. This will restore the strength but allow access if I want to put the battery in there for balancing purposes, or to access fuel lines.
