Well Known Member
Has anyone built a latch or suchlike that would allow the RV-7 slider canopy to be held partially open while taxiing?
 
Heres one

Heres one that I made out of aluminum angle. I drilled two holes in the rail for allowing the slider to be held open just a couple of inches and also a location about 8" or so back. First picture with black lever down in rail hole and second picture with the black lever in the upright position. Very simple to make. Alan
