RE: Midwest Citabria - Build Thread

Okay, not exactly 2 or 3am.

4:29am!!!

I wanted to make some kind of hatch without adding a bunch of weight. A few pieces of scrap balsa and some 1/16" ply.

Leaned the wing up against the bench and turned my back on it. Knocked a hole in the sheeting. [:@]

Made a jig to drill the holes for my hinges. I changed my mind on the CA hinges and decided to use some Great Planes hinge points. Got both ailerons hinged. I put one hinge in each wing bay. 6 per side. It all fits nice and I have very good throw with a tiny hinge gap.
