The first two pictures show the frame closed and latched. The pin just sticks out a tiny bit. The two flanges along side the pin on the left side of the airplane show where a canopy lock switch will be attached. I will get a ‘Canopy Open’ message if the pin is not engaged.

The last two pictures show the canopy frame open and closed with my intended instrument layout.  And a little surprise in the ‘more stuff’ category, are the two sticks with grips. They replace the original sticks and are the optional stick and grip Van’s will sell with the 14.
