Re: Canopy Lock Source...
      
      Hi Matt,
      
      I haven't specifically looked, but there is a place called Dad's Locksmith  
      in downtown Danville that generally has high end stuff.  They did all the  
      locks in my office and the hardware is first class.  I could check in there  
      next time I am wandering around town.
      
      Regards,

      Fellow  Builders,
      
      On Ruby 1.0 I engineered a custom canopy lock that I really  liked.  I 
      worked really well and in 172 hours of flying I never had a  problem with it. 
      
      (See attached pictures.)  I also really liked  having that lock sticking out 
      right there because it made it really easy to  open the canopy and pop the 
      back end of the canopy up.
      
      For Ruby 2.0 I  plan to do the same thing, but I would really like to fine 
      a higher quality  lock.  The one I used I got from the hardware store and is 
      really kind of  a piece of garbage.  It seems like a Chinese copy of 
      something that was  actually good.
      
      Does anyone know where I could get a similar lock, but  of exceptionally 
      high quality and maybe made out of  stainless?
      
      Thanks!
