Kurt,
   Say, if you've got some pictures to share of your attachments, I'd sure like to see them too. I want to do the same.

David, 

I used piano hinge attachments on my cowl. I like the outcome because things line up perfectly and there is much more rigidity on the cowl edges (so they don't warp like some I have seen on the ramp).  If you like, I can provide you with some pictures of my setup and how I did it. If I had to do it again, I would use a combination of my hinges on the wing roots, and the captured lip idea against the fuselage (like some have used here). In fact, I may change my lower cowl/fuselage joint over to the captured lip idea.  The top is pretty much finished now and would require too much to change. 

Let me know if you would like more information. 

 Kurt Winker

I am working on the cowls and wanted to find what others had done with piano
hinges to make their removal easy.  I tried looking on Reflector, but I have
no way to search for a thread except month-by-month.  Any other way?

Anyone have good pictures of or ideas for cowl mounting for easy removal?

Sir,

Thank you for talking today.  You have a beautiful Velocity.  I am a team
owner within the Rocket Racing League www.rocketracingleague.com

I am interested in finding a person in Oklahoma or North Texas who would be
willing to lease a Velocity.  The two pilots would be me (a Navy F-18 and
E-2 pilot) and John Herrington (a NASA Astronaut and Navy Test Pilot).  We
would fly the aircraft very respectfully and only straight and level.  I
will take care of maintenance, fuel, and insurance.  My team's website is
www.bridenstinerocketracing.com

Thank you for your help.

Best,
Jim Bridenstine

I don't think it would be legal to lease an experimental aircraft to anyone.
You could loan it if you wish.
