OK, so I am getting ready to add the canopy frame to the RV-3 cockpit, and have studied all of the RV-3 and -4 web sites I can find. Van?s design calls for a canopy latch that you pull back to lock and push forward to open. Lots of folks don?t like this, and have made a pretty easy modification to reverse the action ? forward is locked, back is open. Being an -8 driver, I of course twist to lock now. So here?s an easy poll (which I am sure will start a lively debate) ? forward to lock, or aft to lock ? that is the question! Comments on why your choice is the absolutely only way to build an airplane will be entertained. Lists of all the cool airplanes that have them in each direction will be educational.
