Title: Hatch removal access on "E" type models.
Post by: Avaiojet on March 10, 2014, 06:35:46 PM

I did a bit of digging, but really am at a bit of loss for methods, the preferred actually,  of setting up the HDWE for the hatch. I see most hatches are on top as is mine.

I've seen four screws and magnets, but am open for other ideas?

How is your hatch held in place?

Thanks in advance.

With the little experience I have I know your battery is going to be too low. It should be centered on teather to start. I am sure the all knowing engineers will say I am wrong but that's the way it has worked out for me. Of coarse it might be good you have the 10 ounces in the belly built in.

Robert,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, below the thrust CL, probably an issue, but once I get my other on board stuff I can move it a bit. Thing is, the movement is more forward.

Stubby tail moment doesn't help for balance.

Might not fly well but it'll look nice on the ground.  n~
