Jeremy,

I have a web page showing my hinge design on my plane. it is at
http://www.geo-mark.com/320/canopy.htm

It works well on the ground, but it has not been flight tested.

I thought it was a little too beefy and would make it smaller if I did it
again

the unit has a slight overcenter to the action to keep the front locked down
in flight.

Scott
