I’ve been doing fuselage mounted camera views and have done cockpit views in somewhat “half assed” attempts but I figured I’d try and make this kinda snazzy and for ease of use in the future. Here’s a “making due” attempt at a streamlined hatch for my FMS Hawk Red Arrow
-outline and cut section (never learn my lesson... cut twice measured once...)
-add hinges
-get stumped on how to clear hatch opening AND raise the camera to clear the instrument panel
-cardboard to the rescue
-add lots of glue and tape
-Velcro
-figure out how to keep it locked in place (was gonna do a servo horn but decided cross pin would suffice)
-bend pin (thanks Freewing for the long rod)
-op test
I cant seem to get the video to work correctly but i'll add it into the comment
