Hello Everybody!!

My S1s Canopy keeps coming unlatched in flight, mainly on high speed Knife edge flight.

Ive had the little steel catches off and fettled a few times now, ive even deepened the slots in the rails that the catches latch in to.

But still no joy :(

Any inspiration on better solutions??

I think i saw on the Steen site different rails , with a different locking system??
