RE: Quick Release canopy for Carden 35% Extra
I did it on a 35% 330 I built a few years back. I used the graupner hatch latches mentioned above...bought them from hobby lobby. I glued the latches to the side rails of the hatch, with the lever sticking through the rail...glued in some hardwood blocks in the turtle deck to mesh with the latch pins in the hatch. The front of the hatch has a couple of dowls that key into the front of the fuse like normal.
I flew the crap out of that plane before I sold it and never had a problem with the hatch...could pop it on and off in just a couple of seconds....worked great! I haven't done it on anything since, but really wish I had.
