Default Quick Remove Cowl?
Hey All!

Now that I converted my CMP Hellcat to Electric, I'd like to find a system to quickly fasten and remove my cowl so I can change batteries.
My full size Cessna has 1/2 turn fasteners.
Is there anything like that in RC?
Please help.
Thanks!
Dave

You can buy dzus fasteners for RC applications. The following link is from Aircraft Spruce.
