I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed before, but maybe my search skills are failing me!
There seems to be quite an array of options, so I'd like to know people's preferences. Dzus, camloc etc. Work well fo aluminium (I'm not a fan of the Dzus spring, so I prefer cam lock style) but what are the alternatives for securing composite cowlings. Composites don't really like rivets, so the "piano hinge with removable wire" looks like quite a nice solution, plus composite hinges are fairly easy to make.
What other options are there?
