  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 rear of the pan that fit into the fuse. 

  Here is a picture ... you can just make out the holes at the fuse/pan join.

      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....
