Michael, Happy New Year and a Belated Merry Christmas! Don Reid's canopy latches for his front-hinged canopy look like they do the job you need though they aren't exactly what you describe. Pretty light, though. https://aerofoilengineering.com/KR/photos/Latch/kr_latch.htm Chris K On 1/1/20

I have a very similar canopy and if for any reason I had to re-build it, it would be converted to a forward tilt, for many reasons. The turtle deck would remain the same. My method is very similar to Larry's, after all, he did it first, so I had something to go by. See N64KR at http://KRBuild

Ben, Perhaps the easier solution could be to "lower the river instead of raising the bridge". To the point: How high is the seat bottom from the fuselage floor? You might be able to get some room by lowering the seat. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA
