You have built a very interesting "Tunnel" I remember looking at it and
thinking
"why did I not think of doing that " I wish I had.
The dream I have now is to make doors on the belly of my trygear that open up
like
a bomb-bay. It would be fun to see the "security people" look at my plane
then.

Will,
No, I beg to dffer from Cliff. I do all interior tunnel maintenance from the
top ( why does everybody like to crawl underneath the fuselage ?). The brake
cylinder assembly is mounted on a removable plate, and I have a removable
lid over the rest of the tunnel, so I can use it also for storage, and in my
case aerial photography through a window in the bottom of the fuselage.
