Making A Simple SPRING HATCH LATCH

摘要

Magnets are great for securing hatches but at high speeds the air scooped in to cool your ESC can overpower the magnets and pop the hatch up - or off! That can lead to a good deal of time wasted searching for the runaway hatch. So I use a simple, reliable and mechanical hatch latch on my higher performance models. All it takes is a bit of scrap lite ply, some left over hardwood stock and a few odd hardware bits. Depending on the spring you use the complete latch will be about 1 to 1.25 inches long.
