The only concerns I have would be re working the design to increase the field of visibility to the rear quarters. I hope you revise it to have real world parts used in the landing gear setup as the present...

    How do you smoothly cut sheet aluminum?

    My preferred method to cut curved shapes from sheet are the air shears. For small peices with highly curved cuts to be made, the nibbler.
