I'm building a 7.5" avionics bay for my LOC Doorknob dual deploy mod - largest one I've built so far. I'm reading the PerfectFlite manual and it says to use four .5" holes. On my 5.5" avionics bays, I use four 9/32 holes.
Guess I'm having a hard time getting my head around four .5" holes - that is the size I drill to install rotary switches.
Before I start drilling this thing, does anyone have any input?? Seriously?? Four .5" holes??? A full 1/2" drill bit??? That just seems HUGE!!!! I realize its a huge avbay, but the holes are just so much bigger than the ones on my 5.5" bays.
