Hello,
I want add a baggage door to the side of the Bede BD-4C that I am building and I am looking for design ideas/tips/hints.
This ought to be a pretty simple project. The skin on the side of the BD-4C is flat and bears no loads of any sort. There is adequate space between the aluminum angles of the fuselage so I do not need to compromise the structure of the plane in any way. I will add any pieces needed to support the door, hinge, and latch (of course).
How would you create a door which is
- weather-proof
- reasonably simple
- lockable
- sleek and supersonic
Thanks,
