REFLECTOR: canard cover

[Alex Balic]

Hey Scott- do you have any pictures anywhere- I have a really, really big
hatch that includes the canard cover and most of the top foreword - and I
would like to see if I can use the piano hinges on there- not sure how to
access the pins.

canard cover.

I use piano hinges to fasten my cover down and its a 5 second job to 
remove and a 30 second job to install??

I don't understand why yours would be a bear?

     The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public 
papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army 
of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be 
like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the 
ministers.
