This may just work out for gear doors
The laminated nose door is 1/16 so by applying a 1/16 overlap on some monokote hinges, i can keep the door snug and flush to the side of the nose bay. For the closing and opening, KISS is in force here
as a torque spring on each door will open them and a U shaped wire catch that will connect to the doors will close them as the gear leg is retracted. This may work equally well on the mains also but lets fly it first.

Already Wired ready to go for $119.00, 100 amp Optos, with required additional caps, correct wiring, JC5 connectors, 8 amp Ubec. Compare with anything, this wins hands down. Get them at Motionrc

Well, Its done and works like a champ. No servo, no sequencing, just a simple mechanical actuation which can be used also for the main doors if anyone else feels ambitious. The main doors are not as simple as the bottom of the booms have a curve to it that prevents the same type of Monokote hinge i used on the nose. The doors open by a torsion wire that is shown in the prior photos i posted and shows more details. Enjoy and hope this inspires others to be able to install gear doors if so inclined.
Further details available and other suggestions appreciated.
