No not AF just local yocal who has always loved airplanes. Since my health keeps me from flying the real thing I enjoy rc. Especially scale planes. I work for a local funeral home. We guarantee a fly over for all military members. The funeral home is in direct line with the S/W end of the runway. The planes are so low you can wave to the pilots from the second floor windows.

I am trying to rig away to have a hatch on the back of my cub like an AE 1. If I cut the top spar will I lose any strength to the tail feathers? I have put in a 1/4 inch square piece of balsa at a 45 degree angle to help give support. I've not cut the spar yet though. Also any ideas on how to best hinge the front of the hatch behind the cabin? I am trying to fill time until pay day so I can buy some covering for it.

Thanks Alan
