A-Nuts...(That just doesn't sound right!! [sm=lol.gif] )...The hatch I fabed my self...Crashmaster (Paul Reece) got me started with his Lancair hatch, which I did on my Lancair also...Check for threads by him or on the Lancair ARF on how to do it.....Yes, they are Z-bends, however the other ends that mount to the wings are clevis ends...so you can put the struts on after the wing is mounted....

D-kid...(That's better than A-nuts [sm=wink.gif] )I have not had an issue with airflow..I've flown in the heat of summer without any problem....

If you need more info...Just holler.
