Canopy - addendum
Upon further consideration, it was decided to add a single retention bolt to the canopy. While no
flight tests were conducted using only magnets and locating pins, careful attention to potential
mishaps dictated the additional security. Magnets have the advantage of simple installation, easy
canopy opening and complete canopy removal. Again, it is assumed that a serious scale
competitor will opt for some form of scale sliding canopy mechanism.
A black anodized button
head machine screw (6-32)
and brass threaded insert
@US
were used to secure
the canopy. Once threaded
to the correct depth, the
brass insert is secured with
a drop of CA glue.
The addition of the bolt is hardly noticeable.
