Matt I just happened to see your post about the hidden oil door hinge and wanted
to go ahead and let you know that I make the oil door hidden hinges.
You can see them on my website at
www.nonstopaviation.com.
Thanks

Looks great! Where'd you say you got the hinge? Post some more pictures of you're
installation. I'd like to see some close ups of the hinge what what not.

The 0.063 is way to thick... Like you I tried it. Settled on 0.040.
in foam and vacuum bagged a layer of carbon fiber. Then I riveted the hidden hinge.
Came out quite nice and stiff. Love the hidden hinge!

Hi Matt
Sorry for the delay in my reply but I really do appreciate your
thoughts re: fuel transducer placement. The pictures you took are
phenomenal just as your appears to be as well. Thank so much for
taking the time to do this. Anything to do with the fuel system
ranks #1 in importance & I am also building with the same engine you
have chosen. At the rate you are going, you will be looking down on
the rest in the non too distant future.
Thanks again & all the best
Sincerely
Brian Cross
