This is how I made mine, on the Sr. Telemaster. I also made a little FT video of it. [link=http://colorado-rc.com/flagship/video/doorft.mpg]Door FT[/link]

I did something like that in a wing once. Barn door hatch, control horn on the inside, servo also on the inside moving the barn door just like a control surface.

Good tips. My tip would be to watch the plane. I saw a pair of guys drop candy to a bunch of kids one time. One of them was watching the candy fall and his plane smacked a car in the parking lot.
