 |
|
What solutions have others come up with to pull sliding canopies forward when you're in the front seat of a taildragger and the canopy is all the way back? I've seen some pretty ingenious cranking mechanisms, but would rather not get into that much effort. Maybe a pull cord, etc.? (Man, this was never a problem on my 8A)

The simple solution is the mid position lock. Move the canopy up to the mid
position before getting in.

I never had a problem just reaching back for it, and I have fairly wide
shoulders.

Bill, I have one of your latches, and it works just fine. Thanks for making these available to us.
