  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....
