canopy mounting methods

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Jay,
The neatest thing I have seen in many moons is what George Asteris does.
It's a quick release, with pins at the front, and a single sliding hatch pin at the top of the back.
The sliding hatch pin is made of music wire and brass tube, but attaches to a foot-long or so piece
of flexible throttle cable and plastic tube that loops down and forward and ends in a pull
tab that is under the wing or on the bottom of the plane. I have no pictures, but
you could probably do the same thing with one or two Violett quick-release hatch pins,
and kevlar cord running back to a pull tab on the bottom of the tailcone.
That would be E-light!

Hi all,

Before I start my new Impact, I was wondering what kind of canopy mounting
methods were being used out there? Pics are worth a thousand words, if
you've got them, or have a site with them on there.

Mine is a 10/32 nylon screw in the front and a 1/2" carbon pin at the rear.

Thanks,
Jason
