Default RE: Magnetic Canopy Problems

ORIGINAL: davalf4

I have an e-flite brio 10 which is a great airplane. But it has a magnet to old the canopy shut. It doesnt work worth a damn. I was talking to another flyer who had a similair problem. He suggested a rubber band from the back of the canopy to the front of the plane to hold it shut. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem on a different plane. I went with a Spring Loaded Canopy Hatch Latch, pics below. No chance the canopy is coming off now.
