<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Being a mid-wing, and with the retract servo and linkage mounted on the bottom of the wing, a removable belly pan is nearly a necessity.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">In regards to the rearward plate, an alignment plate with two dowels, and a 10-32 nut was mounted on the wing.The surface of the plate was eyeballed as being parallel with the centerline of the wing.This is to allow the belly pan to be removed perpendicular to the zero axis of the plane.If the alignment plate was attached flush to the rearward section of the wing, the pan would have to be removed in a reward direction because the dowels would be angled towards the rear; and that is not possible as the front of the pan would hang-up on the leading edge of the wing.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The pan has to be removable straight upward with this layout.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Both of the rear plates were clamped together and drilled with ¼” holes.Dowels were glued into the bottom plate, along with the nut, and then mounted to the wing.The top plate was then located and screwed on the bottom plate.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Drill the access hole for the 10-32 bolt into the belly pan.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Now it was just a matter of getting a ½” balsa block to fit over the plywood plate, with clearance holes for the dowels, and a slip fit with the sides of the pan.This balsa block is what will attach the plate with the holes onto the pan.Epoxy was applied to the balsa block, placed onto the exposed plate, and the pan aligned.The balsa block can be pressed down onto the plywood through the 10-32 access hole.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The front plate was done similarly.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><span style="font-size: xx-small">I hope the pictures help…………</span>
