The canopy is latched via three latches, a rear lower latch , a rear upper latch and a lateral latch on the left side.
The picture shows the left rear latch in the closed position.



Here the same latch in the open position. A rod will be connected to the aluminium part and be operated via the left side latch button.



Here the two parts forming the side latch. They need to be heavily deburred.



Two slots have to be cut on the left side of the fuselage, a risky job. The picture shows the template that will be used for drilling.



The I draw the slots on the fuselage. I cut the slot manually with a file, not daring using an electric or pneumati tool.



The two slot are done, on the back one, the latch is in position. The upper lip shows a bit wavy on the picture, but in reality it's not noticeable.
