:idea:

Am just finishing the fuse for a Sr. Tele and want to build-in a drop to be used for candy at club functions, parachutes, etc.

Have a latch but have no idea how to go about doing this -

If any one has done this or any ideas would appreciate hearing from you -

I have seen one in a traner. All they did was cut out the bottom, and hinged it on one side. They then got then got a micro servo, and set it up on the side. It was connected using a torque tube. When closed, the torque tube is at about 30-45 degrees from the side, so the the door can be opened all the way to ninety degrees. Don't forget to add some reinforcement.
Hope this helps.

Here's one approach

now the close up. Pictures courtesy of George Nichols.

GREAT!! I'm going to use it with a little modification.

Really like the simple release - :sunsmiley
