It is my understanding that the canopy latch system has been changed. I have been looking for the DWG that will reflect this new latching system with no success. Does anyone have a DWG number or a DWG that I may see in order to checkout what parts I need to change mine to the newer style latch.

Thanks

I have my 601HD built and flying for the past two years, but I was
interested in the new latching system. I made an XL type latch for my
plane and have had excellent results with it. During the test phase
before I determined the best way to guarantee latching twice I had the
passenger side pop to the first latched position on one occasion I was
able to reach over and pull the latch down on the other I just landed (
it came loose on takeoff) to secure it. I have some concerns with the
new design. as I interpret it the two latches a fastened rigidly
together so that it one latch is pushed back the other will follow. With
this setup if one side comes loose and you attempt to latch it it will
release the other side, not a good situation. I think a simple
modification would fix this. Part 65C5-4 on each side should have one
end slotted and there should be two springs one on each latch.. In this
way the center lever will open both latches one one latch cannot force
the other open. This is just my observation in that I have no intention
changing my working system although I like not having the cable
assemblies in the canopy.
