RVJET wing scoops (removable)

thingiverse

I got this idea from RVJET pocket hatches: by boopidoo. This is a work in progress. But I have finally made it to the last stages. The mount fits into the pocket of the RVJET, but some foam modifications are necessary. I made this to be able to clip in the front and screw in the back with plastic screws into a base plate. Mine is made in natural color as I did not have any more black. But it is made just to show you the end result. The screws and nuts that I used can be bought at your local hardware store. I believe they were 6-32 plastic screws and nuts. The front base plate and the rear bolt base plate needs to be glued or epoxied in. I will be making some changes after I test this. I am not sure the front scoop is deep enough, as it doesn't match the size of the exit inverted scoop. Instructions Once printed just cut the support out under the front tab and the foam out a little to fit the 2 base plates and the main cover into the foam while keeping it flush. Also drill out the holes with a 3.5mm drill bit .I did find out that the wing is curved at the front so instead of trying to figure out the exact curve of the wing I just used my heat gun to soften the front piece ahead of the scoop and gave it the proper curve. You will need to buy the plastic screws and nuts, I believe they were 6-32. The nuts fit perfect into the printed base. Then glue/epoxy the 2 base plates in and then it just fits together. Take your time cutting out the foam, so you will have a beautiful fit: unlike my first one as seen in the picture. My second one came out perfect.
