That is or course, providing the aircraft battery stays intact, the main battery is a large heavy item [70-80 lb NiCad battery] that is bolted to the electronic bay floor but with an impact, the chances of it [and all the associated control wiring to control the cargo doors] being intact would be very unlikely

I don't want it to sound like I'm being negative with every scenario you come up with but if you are trying to keep it as realistic as possible, I'm just pointing out some likely problems.

I've seen far too many films and read far too many books where the aviation parts are laughable....
