<< On my fiberglass nose bowl, I placed velcro as needed. Cut a piece of aluminum to cover the hole... and added mating velcro. 10 minutes at the most for the project. I had the materials on hand. If the FAA saw it, they might ground the plane and throw me in jail. In the meantime... all is well. >> Hmm... I dunno. Having a piece of sheet aluminum velcro'd onto my cowling right below that whirling propeller would give me nightmares.... I might even have nightmares about it being velcro'd onto YOUR cowling!!! BTW, A USAF A-10 Thunderbolt crashed recently because a piece of equipment that was velcro'd in place in the cockpit came loose and hit a switch in the cockpit. If I remember correctly, the pilot survived, but the plane didn't. Fly Safe, Wayne DelRossi Alon N5618F Simpsonville SC
