Default RE: Graupner Hawk build thread

Ok advice needed.

I'm looking to fit the small doors which will cover the retract body when shut.

The problem I have is how to hinge it and what linkage and linkage position I should use.

I was thinking of a flat plate Kavan style hinge but because of the double skinned door I'd have to try and cut a slot into it for the hinge to fit. Ideas????

Also is there an easy way of working out the geometry of the linkage rather than trial and lots of error!??????

I guess that the easy option is to just fit the door on to the leg with a spacer but I'm not sure if it would look right as the full size seems to have this little door sitting a reasonable distance from the leg once opened.

Easier still would be to just leave them off completely but Simon is a bit of a perfectionist [:@]



Thanks

Steve
