XUAV Mini Goose / Snow Goose Parachute Latch Thing

thingiverse

This is a creation I made. The XUAV Mini Goose, also known as Snow Goose, has a silly parachute bay at the bottom without any means of securing it unless a servo is used, so I created this. There are two options available - one with a latch panel suited for an M3 hex nut and the other (my personal preference) designed for Heat-Set inserts found here: https://www.mcmaster.com/94180a331. A 10mm M3 screw is required to secure the lid to the plane, which I use in aluminum form, painted red.
