Has anyone building this cab tried to hinge the CP?

Hi, I've just started putting the pieces of the cab together so it's not quite time for the control panel yet - but it looks like it just lifts off to get to the keyboard and then sticks back in place with the velcro.

I was thinking of trying to put hinges at the back of the CP (and maybe a magnetic catch at the front) so I could just lift of the top panel to get to the keyboard.

Anyone try this yet?

Shape D.:
If you do that, make shure that the front is secured well. Otherwise I'm guessing that when you move up on a joystick you'd be likley to lift up your cp.

megashock5:
Hmm. Good point. Maybe it would have to be something a little more secure than a magnetic catch.

Shape D.:
Plus magnets near video screens cause problems.

I use velcro tabs to keep my CP closed...  seem to work fine, even during some furious 2 player Marvel VS Capcom action.  I used about 10 half-inch dia. tabs.
