I would not use screws for attachment.  I used a 
piece of 1/4" foam to construct my belly board 
with glass wrap.  I drilled multiple 1/8" holes 
in the hinge on the board side and used 
epoxy/flox and one overlay of glass to secure.  I 
used a piece of 1/4" X 1 1/2" piece of pine from 
the lumber yard on the floor behind the rear spar 
and used five 3/16" bolts with "wood washers" to 
attach to the floor of the fuselage.  500 hours 
and 110+mph and it's still hanging on.
