When I put the SL-1 (safety latch arm) in place (so that the C-615 spring is parallel to the fuselage side rail and the main canopy latch pushes against the tab on the latch arm), I find that the safety latch arm is about 3/8 inch longer than it should be to properly ride under the striker plate as per the instructions. I could find another piece of steel and make a shorter latch, or put a spacer between the fuselage side rail and striker plate. Has anyone encountered the same problem? What did you do? Thanks in advance. Donna Turrentine
