REFLECTOR: CamLoc's

[Jerry Teitsma]

I have not had difficulties with the camlocks but I used camlocks only at the cowling/wing interface and used screws where the cowling/ fuselage juncture.  I have not seen an easy way to remove and re-attach the cowlings.  JT

Richard/All, 
Any data on incidents of camlocks letting go in-flight? I thought they were fairly well engineered to prevent that.
