The lower right hinge pin on the lower engine cowling keeps creeping up out of the piano hinge on a friend’s RV-12. We have tried putting a bend and a series of waves in the wire and still creeps up within a few hours of operation. I remember reading that someone safety-wired the hinge pin and I’d like to better understand how this was accomplished – maybe a photo.
Also, for those having similar issues, does the lower right hinge seem to give the most problem?
