Continuing with the attachment of hatches, my priorities for the attachment of Yuri's chin pan were a lightweight and clean appearance. Electric power systems rarely need to be accessed, so I was willing to incur a bit of increased time to remove the chin to gain some appearance points. For the ultimate in clean appearance, I used a slotted/bolt capture method at the front of the chin pan (similar to the front of the canopy) and a pair of bolts to secure the aft section of the chin pan. When installed, the fastening mechanism(s) for the chin pan is completely hidden.
