Screwing Belly Pans

[Derek Koopowitz]

Bob,
 
World Models (or their distributor in the US - Airborne Models) makes a
belly pan mount kit that is a quick release - the Japanese use it on their
pattern planes.
 
Here is the link:

of the page.
 
Airborne are at: http://www.airborne-models.com/ - they are the importers of
many kits including the Zen III that Donny Wright flew to 1st place in
Masters at the Nats a couple of years ago.

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....
