RE: Ace Extra 230 33% Fiberglass
Nothing real special here - hot wired replacement hatch from 2"thick (stacked)Owens Corning pink XPS - Ilike this material a little better than the EPS, obviously much finer grain, although the results was similar. Didn't notice the notches in the foam until after the cut was made, and the ink on the panel fused into the seam. I'll plan better next time.
Idecided to add 2" of balsa build-up to F-1 to butt against the hatch - might be a better bulkhead for some kind of latch mechanism instead of the "wire through the cowl" idea.
The wing tube core drill (Ithink this qualifies as a "gun drill") is about complete - I'll post those pictures in a couple days.
Thanks
