<DIV><FONT face=Arial>No problem as I am sure you'll figure out a system that
works best for your application. The best part of the system we use is that the
4/40 bolts are captive inside the tube. You'll never lose them again! As well I
only need one size ball driver to complete all maintenance & pan removal....
except for the YS mm stuff of course :-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nedim/Dave - thanks! Interesting technique,
no doubt very effective.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Others - you've shared the dzus and keyhole
techniques, both I had discarded, but will reconsider This pan
mounts overlapping a vertical flange/lip on the fuse and wing
bottom.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll keep working on it! Thanks,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also FWIW I changed this method on the next build
and did not use the rear hold down bolts. I used a couple CF dowels at the

<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>
