Tom,

You're kidding, right?  Of course, it's April fool's day. [Gold star!!!! <M>]

This aircraft is of monococque construction - i.e. the skins are part of
the structure - i.e. your "door" is no longer structural.  If you  remember,
the airflow over upper wing skins creates a very strong low pressure  and
the skin will not rest on the ribs in flight with unknown results because of

a new airfoil shape, assuming the skin stays attached at all.  But, what
the heck, it's experimental.

Grayhawk, now Whitehawk.

While working on my Legacy  kit it occurred to me that once it's flying
inspection
and maintenance of the main gear would be so much easier if the stub wing
skin
could be removed.  I attached a hinge to the leading edge so  that the skin
could be
opened as shown in the picture.  Now I'm  trying to decide what sort of
fasteners
I should use on the trailing edge.  Any  suggestions?
