REFLECTOR: Plenum attachment

[Scott Derrick]

Chuck,

I finally found that picture.  I thought I had seen it.  It was in with 
your cowl attachment pictures....

I can see two screws on the port side runner's port side..  The long 
upper side doesn't look like it has screws in it?  is that just the 
reflection hiding them?  How is that held down?

I was envisioning a similar arrangement but hadn't come up with a clean 
way of tightly holding the rubber collar.

What kind of PSI does the plenum see at 180 knots indicated?
