Is there a need or requirement for more than that? BTW, mechanism is very firm to operate in both directions but possibly could work loose during flight. Van sells a latch for the RV-4, will that work on the HR? Thanks, Jim Stone Louisville First flight prep SNIP Jim, I have the flopper canopy on mine. Exactly ONE time I have neglected to double check that the safety latch was engaged before takeoff. After takeoff,I noticed that the sound wasn't right and found the safety latch wasn't engaged. The canopy will raise up about 1/4 to 3/8" on my plane when the safety latch isn't latched. It is impossible (for me anyway) to squeeze the rails hard enough to latch it in flight at any speed. I found it to be unnerving enough that I landed, latched the safety latch, and then continued. I'd install the safety latch. IMHO, it helps take a lot of load off of the standard latching pins.
