Sawzall.

Much neater than the chainsaw, but not as cool as a loop of det cord.

Thanks, Bob K.

Oops, that was my post.

Thanks, Bob K.

New aluminum panels can be cut out pretty effectively by waterjet or
laser using a local fabricator. *I think I paid $80 the last time
(aluminum included) and just had to give them the drawing file.

Aluminum panels are quite dangerous in an accident;
edge removed leg of a friend in a crash.

Please use fiberglass panel with a integral rounded
flange as do all modern manufacturers. If you have
an older glider with an aluminum panel consider
upgrading it (good opportunity to add an SN10).

No kidding here.
