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) -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370296#370296 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:44:14 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: fuse access From: "flea" 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.

Thanks... ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 09:05:05 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: fuse access From: "taildrags" 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. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370345#370345 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 09:46:03 PM PST US From: "The real bike Mike" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: No Title Thanks, Gary.
