 This is the stabilizer of my Bugatti, and the opening I have left here is for
the servo which will operate this half of the elevons.
 Here I have glued in four spruce blocks to the wing ribs and two horizontal
supports which the hatch will be attached to.
 Here I have fashioned a hatch from 1/8 " plywood.
 I soaked it overnight then allowed it to dry with some weight positioned on
it to create a slight curve to match the curve of the airfoil.
 Apply some tape to the top of the hatch and make sure it is positioned
exactly where you want it.
 Lay your balsa sheet overtop of the stabilizer where it will be placed.
 Flip it over, and there you have the location for the hatch.
 The final assembly awaiting screws that will go into the vertical spruce blocks
The servo will be attached to the underside of the hatch and only the arm will
stick out from under the hatch.
