Guys,
I need an elegant way to latch my flopper canopy to the roll bar so I
can taxi with the flopper about 1/2 way open. Anyone have pictures of
a working latch? Or can you describe a good technique other than
holding it with my third hand... which I don't have.
BTW, I don't mean a few inches open for ventilation. I've got that
covered. I mean open such that I can stick my head out and look down
either side of the plane.
Ground visibility over the nose of this thing is not the best. Yeah,
s-turns, I know all about them, save your breath. I want to have the
OPTION of taxiing with the lid open so I don't run over a baby stroller
at Oshkosh or taxi into a hole on some grass strip.

I made a telescopic device (not for an RV), out of 3/4' sq tube,
and then with a series of holes, made it almost infinitely adjustable
using one finger to make the adjustment.
