Has anyone out there used cam locks instead of the wire hinge used the
wire hinge on my RV6A, it became a real hassle think the vertical part on
the lower cowl is fine hinged.

Joe, I have a friend with a -6 with Camlocks in the UK. He is pleased with
it, though I gather he has some 'bulging' in flight between the Camlocks. He
swears by them. I am using hinges. Anything you want me to ask him? Steve.

My solution was to use the hinges per plans, except on the upper corners where

the hinge pins are hard to get in and out.  I stopped the top hinges before the

sharper radius, and put four screws around the corner, with Tinnerman anchor 
nuts.  You could use camlocks in place of the screws if you prefer.

I like this method, because I feel the hinges support things better, and my 
hinge pins are easy to get in and out.
