You have to be kidding ACS
I just checked,
Wicks $13.50
ACS $148.95
You have GOT to be kidding. Both list the same p/n H5000-2. This one of the largest price differences I have seen between ACS and Wicks. Is there something different about them?
BTW Nice work Paul, can't wait to see more pics

Why not hinge the whole thing?
Why not just put a piano hinge on the bottom edge and let the whole cheek hinge down? Has anyone tried that?

That's an original thought! I think in my opinion, it would be hard to stop it from rattling around a bit - I want the lines to flow right in to the fuselage (the flange will be blended in after riveting). But theoretically, you could hinge the whole thing since it really isn't structural. You'd have to do something creative with the flange (or hinge) that attaches it to the cowl at the front.

Excellent point  I'm also partial to it because my Aircoupe's name was Rocky! Now as for Bullwinkle, I'm thinking that because he was so big in comparison, you guys might have to build a 10 next

My wife names almost everything in our life; the Rocket that has been under construction for way too long in our basement has been named "Rocko" - kind of a tough-guy take on rocket. Whenever I get to fly it it should be fun.

Before this thread drifts to far...
Does anyone see why a similar latch couldn't be installed on the wing tips of a 9A giving access to the wing rib lightening hole in front of the spar? My intent would be to secure and carry fly rod cases.
I had another scheme all planned to put two rod cases behind the baggage bulkhead. I mentioned this to Ken Kruger and while he said my idea sounded reasonable, he mentioned he'd seen someone do this and thought it clever. The more I ponder it, the more elegant the solution seems to be....and cost effective too. Those hinges would only cost a fraction of what the rods are worth.<g>

Yep
You could. The Air Tractors that fly to Oz and South Africa, store the spray booms in the holes in the ribs....that, and the spray pump lies in the aft fuselage, secured to the structure.
The, the hopper is filled with Jet A for 12-18 hours endurance!
Flyrods in the wings?...Excellent idea, near the CG too.
Best,
