Default Aviation Design Diamond Nose cone

I am wondering how people are securing the nose cone on the AD Diamond? Attaching the long cone on 4 screws is rather primitive. I tried to understand the Ultimate jets UJ smart fastening method, but its too difficult to understand without pictures. Anyone has pics of that method? Or any other method?

thanks in advance.

No Mark, the nose cone is not circular, rather its rectangular. So cannot be twist-locked.

A small 440 screw centered on the top, one on each side, then two underneath is all you need. No muss, no fuss. The thing is secure and won't move, unless you crash of course! Sometimes people have the tendency to "over-engineer" the simple things which comes from just "over-thinking" those simple things. With experience, those simple things stay just that, simple. Just say'n.....

Or, you can put in a little extra effort to keep it simple yet make access to plugging/unplugging your batteries quick and tool free ��
