-I continue to be spoiled by the earlier plans. The finish kit is just alittle more basic in terms of directions and the drawings so consequently I spent the bulk of the session trying to figure out the canopy latch. -I had to find the appropriate parts which is never easy since I don't organize anything, but since as a side note it is getting easier as I have less loose parts ; ) -Had to hone the brass bushing just alittle to get to slip over the shaft -Drilled out the screw holes #12 for the keep screw on the latch arm -Once I did that I got it on the airplane and it works pretty good. I like the design, pretty ingenious!
Here it is latched over-center on the inside of the airplane. Note the silver piece grabs the w/s tube
Nice fit once it's latched.
From the outside. You can see my glass repair where I came up short and had to add material.
