Terrence,
   
  In the good ol'e days, Lancair used 4 seperate latches to lock the canopy but once locked, could not be opened from the outside.  After they came out with the forward hinge canopy, they came out with the torque tube latching system which is very easy to open from the inside and outside with just one flick of the latch.    It was easy to install and I've loved how you can adjust how tight you want your canopy latched.   There is no chance of an accidental opening in flight because it is spring locked.  
   
  Hope that helps.  I think Lancair still sells that and it is similar, if not exactly the same as the Legacy latching system.  
   
  For the record, I also carry an axe - hope I never have to use it but it would be better than nothing if I ever had to get out and my canopy was jammed or upside down, maybe I could chop through the passenger seat floor, who knows.  Knock on fiberglass.
   
  Matt

Matt,
I have kit #11 finishing up, and would really like to know about the "new,
easier latching system" for the canopy.
Thanks,
