Guys,

Just making a few tweaks to my ViperJet ready for some winter flying and wondered what the general consensus was on canopy retention mods?

Are people fitting hooks to stop the canopy lifting or tabs to stop the canopy bowing in/out? Looks to me as if hooks will be a pain to fit?

Let me know!

Cheers,
Mark
I'm going to use the BVM Canopy "hook" mainly as tabs. It all depends if there is enough backward movement of the canopy to release the hooks (if they were to be used as intended). I imagine with the fittings at the front of the canopy and the latch at the back it should be suffient, and they can be used as "tabs". Asyou said it will be interesting to hear what the other guys have done or their "take" on it.
