| Subject: | locking up the plane |
I have face mounted avionics, which make them relatively difficult to
steal. Additionally, the MO of avionics thieves seems to be to steal
radios from plane A and then install them in plane B, selling the radios
from plane B. That way the serial numbers don't turn up as being stolen.
The relative rarity of face mounted radios makes that process
exponentially more difficult.
I do have a canopy lock, a desk drawer type that locks in the 0, 90, and
180 degree positions. The lock is in a beefed up and faired area of the
aft canopy skirt and is oriented such that the canopy can open, lock
closed, or stop the canopy about four inches open for secure ventilation on
a hot, sunny stop on a ramp.
A locking canopy cover will round out the protection.

I have a canopy cover but not a LOCKING canopy cover. I've never heard of
such a thing. Tell me more.

Did you sell your system yet. If not I am interested.
