<div>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.</div>

<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is a single hatch latch reliable or should I stick with 4-40s?</div>

<div>Thanks for any feedback.</div>
