Default Top Flite Bonanza Top shell Security

Just finish giving a Top Flite Bonanza the I aquired from my cousin a face lift and I'm trying to find out if anyone out the found a better/ easier way to secure the top hatch on with. The four screws in the corner is a real pain to deal with especialy when your at the feild and it needs to come off for some reason....Please help.....Has anyone out there used zip ties to secure it on.

Thanks
Shawn

I haven't built mine yet so I may be talking out of my er...you know... but

Does the top need to be removeable? Can't all the innards be accessed when the wing is removed? I bought the glass accessories for the kit that replaces all the ABS and I was just going to glass the top on after installing the interior kit. It would not be removeable at all.

I know that doesn't answer your question, just wondering if that was doable.

Shogun,
You might want to try something that works well for electric flyers. Neodymium super magnets. You can pick up disc shaped ones at Radio Shack. Implant them on the mating surfaces of the fuse and hatch. Can't provide any pictures because I'm not at home, but I will testify that magnets will keep it in place.
