I'm getting ready to install the 320/360 canopy latch (single-handle, dual 
latch). Has anyone got anything to add to the installation instructions or 
other helpful hints....Bill,
...............................................................................................................................................................When 
I fitted the canopy latch it quickly became apparent that the outside 
handle sticks out so far as to be unsightly.  I therefore had a new part 
machined at the correct angle so that the handle lay parallel to the
fuselage side.  The kit comes with a handle which is at right angles to the 
torque tube which carries the dual claw latches and overcenter link 
spring.  I would not recommend fitting it this way because you end up with 
a 2" lump of filler material sticking out of the fuselage.  I can send 
photos of the modified part if it would be helpful.
