There are some great ideas here. I insert my pins from inside the cockpit, but unlike a few others, I didn't make provisions for making it easy! Doh! My pins are a royal pain to get in.

I like the idea of running a guide tube from the NACA ducts forward, but how do you secure the pins once fully inserted? Anyone care to elaborate with their ideas?

If you join the James Aircraft group on yahoo there are several examples of how others have done this. I am doing it on my RV-7A.

Here are the promised photos of my install. May add a retainer for the T-handle, but I think that friction may be sufficient. Can evaluate once flying. Slideshow:
