I have also done this with a Ford Town car.  It works well. Howev= er, I'm still completing the project and my understanding and I think a goo= d practise, is to have an external release in case of accidents or problems= .  I will likely do this with a control cable so you can release from = the outside.  What I haven't resolved yet is how to make it secure dur= ing non-flight and accessible when operating.

Actually, Duane Hitchcock's 360 used an electric opener from, I t= hink, a Lincoln Continental trunk.  He lowered the canopy and it staye= d about an inch open.  He pushed the button on his remote and a little= electric mtor sucked that puppy down tight with a satisfying "thunk"! = ; Pushing the other button made it pop open again.  It was truly aweso= me and really added a lot of class to his already beautiful airplane.
 
Problem is, one time he had the key fob in his pocket while flying and= something in his pocket pushed the button.  You got it -- "thunk" and= the rush of 200 mph air.  He said it scared the crap out of him, so n= ow he has an arming switch on the panel so it won't happen again.
 
I don't think I want my oil door to do that...
