<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bob, might try wing nuts, (hee hee) or if you
can't stand the weight and drag, try the old fasioned way-dowels and
rubber bands.However, you might look into Zeus fasteners (twist and
lock). I have seen some small Al. ones, but would take a little time to get
them installed/lined up. They may add a little weight but sure would be
easier. This is why we went to a separate canopy on the old Jekylls,and
Sequel's and those did have plug in wings!!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Allrighty- here's a question for the creative
types... My new Icepoint, truly a VERY high quality PARF, has the one piece
wing (big, straight, light, well-covered), and it is covered with a REALLY
long one-piece belly-pan/chin cowl that goes from the spinner face to the
wing t.e.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It is supposed to be held on
with ten, 2mm screws....Since the wing/pipe has to come off every flying
session, that's a LOT of screwing around with...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ANYONE have any ideas for alternates?
Have considered the BVM 'canopy hooks', but not enough surface to grab
everything properly. I have about a 1/4" tall lip to hold onto from
the pan.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please - no "That's why you buy plug-in wings,
Bob" answers....</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
