I have Skybolt fasteners on my upper and lower cowlings--love 'em! There's just one really annoying problem: the snap rings on the back of the screws keep falling off in flight and get lost. I've already lost 9 of them. It's not that big of a deal, since the Skybolts are secure when the cowlings are on. But when you remove a cowling, the offending Skybolt (without a snap ring to hold it in place) falls on the floor and rolls away.
Is anybody else having this problem? What's the solution, other than buying a bag full of spare snap rings from Skybolt?
