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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:15:03 AM PST US From: "Bob Collins" Subject: RE: RV-List: locking up the plane I have a canopy cover but not a LOCKING canopy cover.
