Jim; you don't really need to have it hinged. You can attach one side using piano
hinge, yes, but then just have the long hinge wire looped on one end where
you can just pull the wire and lift off the turtledeck. Loop goes forward.
You don't want that wire working loose in flight and getting back into the tail
surfaces ;o)

That is a good point, I really wouldn't anything to interfere with the rudder/elevator.
That would ruin a day in a hurry.
So I have been given opinions running the entire gauntlet, from Weight, KISS -
why mess with it on the con side of the question and Flybaby does it so why not,
use an aluminum plate on the bottom, and just pin it on there on the pro side.
I assume the suggestion of the piano hinge pin is a suggestion in support
of.
So some things to think about then.
I don't think the weight is a very big deal, the only added weight is in the weight
of the two spruce longerons at 52" each. All other structure would be there
even if built per plans; stringers and ply formers are there either way.
Aluminum plate seems to confirm my idea of having a better inspection area than
a 3.5 inch inspection ring. Although this idea goes through the bottom where
presumably it is easier and cleaner to do.
Anyway some thought, cause over thinking is what I do.
I really do appreciate all the input, and I am not dismissing any of it just out
of hand. I have never taken on a project like this before and certainly nothing
where the stakes are so high. Nothing is dismissed, but ultimately a decision
will be made.
Jim.

Jim;
The turtledeck cover could be a hinged or removable aluminum wrap rather than wooden
stringers covered with fabric and it could be very light, even with some
angle stiffeners on the inside. However, as others have noted, you will find
that you sit on that area and brace your weight onto it with your hands when
you enter and exit the cockpit. Aluminum tends to be unforgiving when you push
it in past the point that it springs back.
That's the thing about building these airplanes: you get to make your own calls
on how it goes together, in thousands of little ways. Even two "per plans" Piets
are never identical.
