I need help.....I'm about to start construction of the hatch for my tear and have had a wrench thrown in my plans, so to speak.
I had planned to build it with a doubled 3/4" ply side frame with 1X's across, covered with 1/4" ply, covered with aluminum. Well, I was talking with a fellow that sells parts yesterday and he advised me to make it lighter by loosing the 1/4" ply, not to double the 3/4" sides, put 4 single 3/4" spines in it and then just cover that with aluminum.
So, what's everyone's opinion that has experience with building and fitting a hatch?
Appreciate your inputs.
