[NSRCA-discussion] MK Magic Box

[Ryan Smith]

All,

 

I have recently acquired a new to me airplane that the canopy blew off of.
While I have a replacement canopy that needs to be fitted and painted to
match, I am reviewing my options for mounting the new canopy. I have an MK
Magic Box that I would like to use, as it seems to be a pretty fool-proof
method of retaining the canopy. 

 

I was hoping to get some feedback from those out there as to how well these
work in a glow application? I have seen a few in use, but mostly they are
used with electric airplanes. The spring in the mechanism seems to be pretty
stout, but I don't want to run the risk of losing a canopy. 

 

I am simply exploring my options here. If you have used them for mounting
canopies, please weigh in with your experiences, good and bad. I seem to
recall some grumblings about them being a little finicky to setup, but
installation notwithstanding, I would like some good feedback, if it's out
there.

 

Thanks and best regards,

 

Ryan
