Re: Rob's build

Hi Kalun,
Good catch. I agree 100%. I was really hoping to put the whole assembly (wire and mounting bracket) on the underside for the aforementioned reasons. However, I could not come up with a Dzus assembly that had that much reach to go throught the combined material thickness'. So, I came to the conclusion that since the nostril is the "late" style (full opening - therefore significant down force on the nostril) and that the RCR nose structure is extremely well ventilated that I could safely deviate from this design concept. So, the plan is to mount on the surface, use steel fasteners with large washers to carry the load.

In the pic they actually aren't assembled yet, as it will happen post paint. They are just sitting in place.

Thanks for the input. Always appreciated.
Rob
