Sign Man:

I made a hatch as part of the nacelle top construction. Just tack glued the front top block on for the shaping and sanding. I haven't made a final decision on the method of attach ment yet, but I am leaning toward covering the hatch and nacelle separately and then using strips of covering to hold it the hatch in place. Ideally, a tank hatch would never be removed, but reality doen't always agree.

I used finishing resin to fuel proof the entire tank compartment, and drilled a drain hole through the firewall, in case of a leak. Then if I see raw fuel dripping from the bottom of the cowl, I can easily cut the hatch loose to make repairs.

Re: the short kit, I think the number of people who would be interested would be very small, but other than that, no reason not to.
