I'm pretty sure questions have come up about this from time to time and since it seems there are a few of us either covering or getting close I thought I would share what I did. I wanted access to my flying wire fittings and I had made a cut out in the leading edge plywood large enough to sneak a 1/4" drive socket in to tighten the fitting attach bolt. I also needed an access hole on the aft side of the spar where there is just fabric. I made a 1/2" wide frame out of .025 aluminum and poly tacked it in position. I let it dry completely and then cut flaps and folded them up and on top of the alum. frame and poly tacked. Then added a gusset over the top of the frame and folded the flaps down and poly tacked on the inside. I'll make covers that will attach to this frame with sheet metal screws.
