HI Mark,

I'll use this thread to ask a belly pan question. The belly pan on my Alliance is "flairing-out" in the portion that is near the leading edge of the wing. I have used a heat gun to warm-up and bend back so that the belly pan is alligned with the fuselage, but this only lasts for minutes. How do you keep the dimension of the belly pan within the width of the fusleage at this area?

Have you guys used the "latch" method of belly pan attachment like the Japanese use? If so, your thoughts on latches for the belly pan would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
