Glenn I LIKE IT! Hey that gives me an idea... By the way, were you teaching at Keesler in '84? We may have crossed paths. Drop me a line. I may know some of your old pals...

I'm going to put the latch mechanism on the center of the turtledeck opening and the catch on the canopy frame along with an appropriate handle to pull it closed. I'll build a mall lockable door on the turtledeck by the left rear canopy corner and install latch handle inside the door for opening from the outside (only lock when parked..When flying leave unlocked. In case of an accident it allows a rescue crew emergency access). The inside canopy open handle will be somewhere convenient. I'll go mark this all off with some masking tape and put some pics up on the website for clarity at some point today. -- Glenn Martin KR2 N1333A "Guardian Angel" 13238 Hudson-Krohn Rd.

Glenn You're right. I have been struggling with how to latch my canopy for several months, discarding three attempts so far. Have you spotted one in particular that you see as a possible candidate? My canopy will open forward like Mark Langford's and Joe Horton's. I'm thinking a latch from a small import as they tend to use a lockable handle or push button style of lock. Maybe a Mazda Miata? Any suggestions gladly welcomed. Thanks for the great idea!!!

Can someone tell me which way the latch RR sells should be installed, with the latch on the canopy or the wood ? Thanks, Steve Bray _ Need a break?

KR> Canopy Latch
Sorry..should have given you a little more info. Bought a 95% project (yea) that has a side opening canopy with the hooks installed and glassed in the canopy but no latch's. I bought the latch's from RR and when installed the cam over hits the wood and makes it hard to latch as in it takes both hands. This doesn't seem right. I can't get the archives to work and find nothing in the plans about it and RR sent none, I didn't know enough to ask.

Steve, I am not sure what the latch that RR sells, is, but whatever you do, install it, so that the latching piece is down. If not, then, it could, and will catch, when you close the canopy.

Dan, Do you mean so that the latch folds over downward to latch ? As it is now I have to lift the latch upward to latch it. The hook is above the latch and the latch folds up to lock in place.

KR> Canopy Latch Lock Mechanism
All the discussion a while ago, about canopy latches and locking mechanisms, caused me to start thinking about the safety of our latch. I became concerned that it could vibrate open while in flight. I know Murphy all too well. This is what I came up with, and the best part is that it works. Another nice thing is that it only cost $4.50 for the assorted box of springs, and the rest is left overs. http://kr-builder.org/CanopyLatch/NewPics/index.html See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R.
