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.

I found these babies today and, at least in the pictures, look pretty manly. I ordered one and it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully it will be better quality than the pot-metal ones from Home Depot. At $33.49/ea, they cost literally about 10-times as much as Home Depot units. So, that HAVE to be 10-times better, right? ;-/ http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=664 After I ordered the ones above, I found an "Olympus" brand of something similar for even more money ($50/ea). These look even more manly, although they have a 1/125" dia barrel which is starting to get a little too big: http://buyaccess.com/olympus-lock-800sc-deadbolt-cabinet-drawer-lock?gdftrk=gdfV22700_a_7c1040_a_7c4922_a_7c800SC I'll post some pictures when I get the Rockler units in the mail.
