REFLECTOR: Canard Cover and cowl attachment system

[Tom Martino]

That is exactly how mine works.  Two pins (one down each side) ... and
the cowl comes off!

You know John, I've thought about that as a way to hold the cowl to the 
fuselage.

I also wondered if that would be enough?

That would sure be slick.  Pull two pins on each side of the cowl and 
lift it off!
