If you are a registered owner of Zenith plans, you can log into the builders area and download a PDF containing pictures and drawings of the new 650 canopy latch system that was added on Thursday. Go to "Click here for important notices and other building and flying information."

If I was installing that latch system, I think I would modify it so
that each side can latch independently of the other. All it would take
is a spring connected to each hook holding it in the latched position
and slotted holes in the linkages allowing each hook to move against
its spring. Lifting the handle would still move both hooks together to
open the canopy. That way, if for some reason one hook hangs up and
fails to latch, the other hook might still fully engage and hold at
least one side securely and prevent the canopy from opening in flight.
The way it is now, if one hook hangs up for some reason, both will
fail to latch securely because they are rigidly connected together.
