Has anyone installed a canopy lock for the RV14 yet? If so, I would really appreciate a picture or two.
Also, for those flying; How do you secure the canopy in an open "taxi" position. It would be possible to open the canopy lift it two or three inches and then close the latch and rest the open canopy on the latch mechanism. This would work but provides no method of holding the canopy in that position. My concern would be a strong tail wind from aft possibly throwing open the unsecured canopy.
There does not appear to be enough room to drill another lower, canopy open hole, in the canopy bow.
Thanks
