[NSRCA-discussion] Fwd: Hatch Latch

[Verne Koester]

Ron,

You should mount the latch so it JUST disengages at full retraction
(ahem..). You want the pin sunk into the flange as deep as possible. Our
fuses do torque and move around as we thrash around up there. You need a
cushion to compensate for that.

How long is the release lever on this one?

I've used this one from Hobby Lobby on several airplanes .. over several
years, with no problems.

No argument on the plastic arm being fragile.  However, with a smoothly
engaging assembly, being beefy isn't necessary and they are very light.

I can't recommend these.  The plastic lever arm is too brittle/not beefy and
is easily broken with just a little force, such as a tight fit.  I've broken
one, and so has Gary Courtney.  If the arm breaks, they are a bear to get
open.  I like a lot of stuff from Hobby City, but this isn't one of them.

Mike Hester put some slick white plastic ones on the canopy of the Black
Magics he built.  I think they come from China and have seen them on the
HobbyCity/HobbyKing web site.  Mike, are you out there?
