Thanks. Sounds like a great idea. I was thinking about at least putting in an access panel anyway.

Subject: X-Air Ultralight Aircraft Front fork replacement To: x-air_ultralight_aircraft@... Date: Monday, August 27, 2018, 6:29 PM Hi . I did the removable nosecone modification, it is an approved mod in the UK, brilliant, The modified cone is removed by undoing six Dzuz fasteners, takes 60 seconds and then you have the fork mount, pedals, brake cable ends right there in front of you , also easy access to those windscreen bolts and fairly easy access to the rear of the panel.The mod was published in the Microlight Flyer UK magazine some years ago, Basically, you cut off the nosecone with a Dremel or similar, fabricate a flange on the cone and a matching mounting flange on the remaining pod out of fibreglass, tape the cone in place and drill the holes for the fasteners .??????? It might take a few hours but it solves all the inside-the-pod access problems for ever !Huw #yiv5065007156 #yiv5065007156 -- #yiv5065007156ygrp-mkp { border:1px solid

开云体育Personally, I would be a little bit worried because the front pod and the windscreen structure becomes "almost" a structural part of the aircraft providing support for a lot of other areas. Simply cutting an access panel into the pod would weaken its integrity. I would have concerns about doing this.melanie jones byronmelaniej@...
