REFLECTOR: CamLoc's

[Mark Magee]

Gordon,
Thanks for feedback. My paint shop wants me to use Camlocks vs Skybolt, possibly for this reason? He has good results in using them on multiple Lancair derivatives.
I understand we are going flush mount and I'm still studying what reinforcing has to be done to the laminates.

I ended up removing all fasteners between the upper cowl and the fuselage( used aluminum angles as guides) and employing conical springs to disengage those between the upper cowl and the wing.   I believe Camloc has an "ejector" version.
