[NSRCA-discussion] Fwd: Hatch Latch

[tocdon at netscape.net]

I used BVM canopy latches on my VF3 with excellent results. Mine recesses into the rear deck bulkhead about 3/8 inch.  I also found Gary Courney's K factor article on building your own latch very informative.  P.S. Gary, my (Auburn fan) wife says Bama Fever.

Regards,
Don

 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?

 fuse side to hold on my
 canopy?
