Glad to hear Tim let you fly his 104", it's a sweet ride for sure. When he found out I was getting a 104" he just had to get one to. We ended up at the border on the same day to pick them up. Tell him to get some decent servos in there though. Is he still blaming me for turning him into a 3DHS addict? I sold him the 71" Slick that seems to have started it all. |

Hahaha, that's too funny. And yep, pretty much. I don't think he'll ever buy another brand ever again! Lol
The funny thing is, all of us friends all bought another one's planned plane last summer/fall. I was originally planning to buy the 104" Slick, my buddy the 35% EF Extra, my other buddy the 110" EF Yak, and Tim had the AW 35% 300. What actually happened is I bought the H9 35% 300, my first buddy the 110" Yak, my second buddy another 100cc (don't recall brand) and Tim sold his AW 300 and bought the Slick. Lol You planning to attend the Hat's IMAC contest in June? If so I'll see ya there! Travis |

Getting them started straight can be a chore if you have big gorilla paws like me.I use hemostats to hole the screws straight in the hole while I get it started and once you get a couple turns in, they seem to go in the blind nuts pretty easily. It also helps to run the screws into the blind nuts before trying to mount the cowl just to clear the threads. Now and then, you might end up with one that has a little glue in the threads.

Mine didn't line up either so I am not using them. I will prolly maiden mine this Saturday and if I have issues I will let you know. I made a make shift ball driver to fit the lower cowl screws from inside. It might be an idea to enlarge the hole a bit if it's an alignment issue.

Here's the schnitz for getting those screws in easily. Get a small telescoping pickup magnet (auto-parts store). Then stick the shaft of your ball driver on the magnet end and your machine screw on the ball driver. Lower it down into position with one hand and turn the driver with the other.
Works like a charm. Been doing this on my 105" Extra for a couple of years now. Never drop a screw or the driver again Earle |

I havent been using the 2 screw for the sides of my cowl of my 89 slick because I havent figured out a good way to get them in or have a long enough allen head. I saw a cool idea using a piece of fuel tubing on the end to hold the screw to get it started as well. im sure you guys have seen this
