CANOPY LATCH
.....
.....
The canopy latch is installed on the left side of the cockpit
midway along the left stiffener.
.....
Find C1 and C2. Make C3.
.....
Install C1 on the longeron. Next, take C3, a batch of Bondo, and
climb into the cockpit. Close the canopy, and position C3 on the left
canopy stiffener to match the position of C1, as shown. Hold C3 in
position until the Bondo hardens, then gently open the canopy and
drill in C3 as shown. It may be necessary to recess C3 into the
canopy stiffener, depending on the location of C1.
.....
Climb back inside the cockpit, close the canopy, and Bondo C2
into position so that the canopy is clamped down tight when the
AN525-10R10 screw is slipped into the hole in C2. Drill in C2 while
inside the cockpit.
.....
The canopy latch is very important. With some foam sealing
material with adhesive backing in place around the canopy area on the
fuselage, the latch should be adjusted so that the handle must be
forced into the closed position. (Latch and handle rigged to preload
toward each other.) In this fashion, it is impossible to
inadvertently open the canopy by bumping against the handle. If you
omit the foam seal, the canopy can rattle and wear the engaging
surface of C1. The macrame bead is available from nearly any variety
store. The foam seal material recommended is MD Foam Tape of size
3/8" thick by 1/2" wide made by the Macklanburg-Duncaun company of
Oklahoma City, OK., available at most hardware stores.
