Is there some reason this hasn't been attempted?

There are a bunch of 'planes out there with hinged panels. They are
the cat's ass when they are brand spanking new. After a few years and
a few mods, you find that most of them don't swing anymore. And most
people aren't willing to spend the money to restore them to a
"swingable" condition.

Man, as an owner, I'd kill the avionics tech that made it "non-swingable"
(or whatever). Just think of the billions of hours of billable tech time
wasted because they have to take the seats out, etc., in order to get at the
backside of things...

Oh, wait... Ah. I get it now.
