Thanks John,
I get your point about the curvature. On that
basis I guess my next thought would be to replicate the attachments on my
Rockwell 112 TC-A cowling. Although a bit unwieldy, the whole top cowling
(fiberglass) - curves and all - lifted off from 4 latches, again providing great
engine compartment access. Although not a speed match for Lancairs it was
good for up to angels 20 and lots of Rocky Mountain turbulence.
You also said: "...I have to
disagree about security – the latches were IMHO fairly crude
overcenter
devices that on my airplane were easy to misalign."
John, the latches on the Cheetah and Tiger were, I
believe, improved over the Traveler's; part of Lo Presti's
"clean-up".
