Chris,

See the marked photos.

I use the switch to power the model on/ Off as there is no power drain throw the dust board.

Chris,

dave
is that not designed only for 6 volt? as I think Chris is using 12 volts.

T888 · « **Reply #510 on:** August 25, 2021, 08:55:44 pm »

I thought Chris said 6v here is the 12v which is what I’m using

frogman3 · « **Reply #511 on:** August 25, 2021, 10:26:32 pm »

HI Dave yes i am usein 12v but i will fit a 12v down to 6 v voltage reducer unit to power the R/X so no worries

Both RIBs now fitted.

Well gents, at last found some time and the interest in attacking the hanger doors.

So for this TEST method,

I first made a jig so I could keep the milled section all the same. Pic 1

Next milled slots both sides and backs so the hing can be recessed. pic 2

By using some sail cloth for the hinges and glueing in the slots.

I milled slots in the end of each panels so the slid rod can be glued.Pic6

Just know have to work out how the R/C this.

Hi Chris,

Still mulling over how to get these doors working

Will be nice to se Tigers lighting

MartinC · « **Reply #523 on:** September 11, 2021, 08:58:19 pm »

Hi Dave,

How about a linear actuator, and a bit of elastic to maintain tension across the door sections?

Nice work by the way

Martin

MartinC · « **Reply #524 on:** September 11, 2021, 09:11:21 pm »

Dave,

Another option, running a piece of threaded studding up the inside of one channel and attaching the top and bottom panels to it.
