That's interesting. I don't have any vertical fasteners on my 415C ??
I was thinking that was the model that Linda has. Why and where are
there
vertical fasteners?
BTW: I also have a sequence that works best....thought it was just me.

Darick,
Everyone seems to have their own method/sequence of Dzus fasters. I
can always tell when my A&P has been into my plane, because when he
has re-fastened the Dzus, the corner one always gives me trouble!
When I open & close the cowl myself, they don't get stuck. FWIW, the
opening sequence that works on my plane (pilot side) is to start with
the 2nd from right, on the bottom row. Then the right hand one, then
move toward the left. In closing it, I also have to start with the
2nd from the right, or the rest get hopeless! Then the right hand
one. When 3 bottom ones are done, only then do I start closing the
vertical row, starting with the top first. If the bottom left corner
isn't the very last one, it doesn't behave.
HTH,
Linda

Are we missing anything? Does everyone else have this same
experience? Do we just have to keep loosening and tightening bolts
in a different order to get things to fit? Is there someone in
the group who has a magic sequence to make this easy?
