Looking for some advice / opinions / comments, and suggestions.
Im currently scratch building a 601XLb. Im at the stage where I need to make a
decision whether to build the wing lockers or not.
For those of you that already have wing lockers in your 601s, Im curious as to
whether they are working as planned. Are they useful? Do you use them on regular
bases? Are they acquired awkward to get into? Are there any issues with items
inside getting wet? Any In-flight problems? Etc.
Thanks in advance.

Dwayne,
They were somewhat of a pain to install but I'm glad I did but you need
to add extra fasteners around the lid and extra L angles under the lid
for support to keep the lid from raising during flight also things will
get wet so you will have to put things you don't want to get wet in
water tight storage such as zip lock bags.

David, thanks for the advice. Our EAA 245 president gave me very similar advice
this morning. He has an older 601HD, but the same issues were raised, wet,
extra L angles and fasteners.
I wish there was a better or different way to fasten them closed. Perhaps something
that doesnt require a screwdriver. I guess the other option is to not use
them frequently, or carry items you seldom need access to, i.e. survival gear.I
have some thinking to do.

A dime works well to open the Dzus fasteners.

They are cool indeed, but obscenely expensive.
AS&S has them in their catalog for $121
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/latches.html
The trick is to find "new surplus", which I did manage to do.
Airparts Inc has them for $20, but they are for the wrong material
thickness.
You need to learn the anatomy of these gadgets: they must fit the material
you are working with; also the version that has a travel limited to 90 deg.
is better, or it will hit the material around it and make a dent.
http://www.airpartsinc.com/products/flush-latch-hartwell.htm
There is also a version with a round button, which is much easier to
install, but I never found them for a reasonable price.
This site has them for $48. Five or 7 per door... do the math...
https://www.circletracksupply.com/product.php?productid 26
I believe I posted some information on the list a while back.
If you can't find it, send me a note and I'll gather the info for you (I'm
about to crash, it's almost midnight here in Montreal).
Cheers
Carlos
