[NSRCA-discussion] Hatch latch or screws?

[colin chariandy]

I've got the canopy set up with 4 carbon pins. Do you also need hooks if using a 
latch?

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.
