Hi Tim instead of using a screw. I've used the bits of used snap off blades they are very thin so with a bit of super glue to the backing bit means you don't need adjustment. Little weight saver if you need a hatch in other places. I did use a fine sandpaper to increase the grip to the snapoff end to be glued in place. Beware they still are sharp in places
Great video! I’m 90% complete with a RC conversion of the #902 Bird Dog. Im using recycled UMX/Spektrum electronics. I will try a scaled down version of a magnetic hatch this weekend.
That's a great way to install a hatch. I've seen several hatches blow off that were held in place by only magnets.
Robert: Copy all and thanks for checking in! Tim
i normally use 2 small round magnets but i love your screw idea for pure adjustability bravo great idea thank you tim
Ray: No worries, thanks for checking in! Tim

MMM: Sounds good! The Bird Dog should be a great flyer. Tim
