Door Latch for BALSA usa 1/4 Cub
I am trying to put a door latch on my Cub but can't make up my mind how to do it. I saw one at a flyin buy didn't see how he did it. Can anyone help me? Not just a paperclip.

i just made an exterior handle on my sig 1/4 scale kit and embedded magnets in the side of the door frame to hold it closed. not fancy but looks decent and works well

I am building a BUSA Cub too and don't like the idea of the paper clip either. My think is to do a similar functional design using bent wire left over from 2-56 control rods. I plan to reinforce the balsa around the upper and lower doors with small 1/32 ply doublers. I have a ways to go tho before I get to that point.
Have fun!
