Some folks in NZ lost their G202 canopy earlier this year. Richard Hood suggested that the circlips holding the rods to the canopy latch could have failed. These are flimsy at best, so I modified my plane. I drilled 1/16 inch holes thru the two circlip-ed pins and the center snap-ringed pin and added cotters. Took only a few hours, drilling carefully. For my plane, the rod to canopy pin connections were already cottered. I would recommend this highly to any g202 owners out there. Following are before and after pictures.
