Glenn,
You hit upon something I have been thinking about for a long time: a large
access panel right on top of the fuselage at the root of the fin, and
eliminating at least one of the other two mickey mouse openings, and giving
easy access to some very important components for future maintenance. Of
course the rim would have to be re-enforced in order not to weaken the
fuselage.
Isn't there a stress engineer around who could do the calculations and
design a mod for submission to the PFA ?
