[NSRCA-discussion] Hatch latch or screws?

[AtwoodDon at aol.com]

with the Xigris having a canalizer on top, I would be hesitant to use a  
latch.  On my Integral and Brio electrics, I used the BVM latch with good  
success.

I'm finishing the canopy on my Xigris and havent decided between at least  
one 4-40 screw at the aft top or a hatch latch.
 
I've always used 2 screws....would'nt dream of a latch with a glow model.  
However, this is e-powered. I still hear and read occasionally of departing  
canopies and am a little uncertain about the security of a hatch latch.
 
Is a single hatch latch reliable or should I stick with 4-40s?
 
Thanks for any feedback.
 
Colin.
