Screwing Belly Pans

[Bob Pastorello]

Coupler is in front of the leading edge of the wing;  have to get to that to un-tywrap the coupler.

  Any way to cut the belly pan in two at the front of the wing and keep the front half on the fuse all the time and only remove the part over the wing?

    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.
        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...

    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.

    Please - no "That's why you buy plug-in wings, Bob" answers....
