| Ahh, neat! Would that hinge be strong enough to support a larger dish? Actually, double up the arms and clips, and you could put that on an 8x8 dish pretty easily, to make a big airlock door, or maybe an escape hatch for escape pods or little (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) Wow, another hatch idea I'll have to steal! ;-) Allister's hatch look like it would be an interior hatch (think service crawlway), while your's gives the impression it would be an exterior airlock. Both are very cool. Nathan Wells (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
