Mike,

Just some ideas:

2) You could also hold the hatch cover with the dowels of the wing, by gluing a piece with two holes.

3) Four recessed micro magnets can also been epoxied to the cover and fuse at the rear end.

Most important: consider that your full tank will weight 10 times more during any 10 g maneuver; hence, a full 8 ounces tank may force against the hatch cover (or your platform) with a force as high as 5 pounds!

((0.79 x 8) oz nitro + 1.6 oz tank) x 10 g = 80 oz = 5 pounds

Thanks.for the reply.. Option 2 is nteresting.. I like that one as well as the magnets.... .. Also i was already planning to hold the tank in place with a platform (just for the reason you mentioned about g and weight of fuel) so the hatch would only ne ed to support itself..


Regards!!
