#F4 PHANTOM CANOPY JETTISON ACTUATOR PLUS#

I'd like to hear what others have done to address this issue. The Zoukei Mura F-4J kit clear parts come on a single sprue and include a separate closed canopy, four parts for an open canopy option, a top-of-fuselage position light lens, gun sight, a vertical stabilizer anti-collision light plus some small miscellaneous lenses. The tip up should easily depart the plane.

What I have read regarding this subject is when flying with a chute, remove or dis attach the gas struts. I have an air gizmo for my GPS pressure fit on the panel that can be removed to get to the Handel. I assume the force would be applied primarily to the front of the forward hinge, so the canopy would come off in a peeling motion (rather than a lifting motion). Jettison canopy I put my jettison Handel behind the panel on the sub panel. For a complete list of parts, please view our Parts Search. Unfortunately I don't know what sort of forces might be produced by a canopy that's unlatched and raised. Please view our partial parts list for the F-4 or contact us for a complete list of parts and component capabilities with F-4 fuel systems, hydraulics, actuators, landing gear, wheels, brakes, avionics, instruments, and more surplus parts and categories. (Or maybe use a Dremel cut-off disc to make a lengthwise cut in the loops of the existing hinges.) I'm planning to rig up test piano hinges to measure the forces needed to detach them, for both potential solutions. These might be weak enough to release the canopy. Replace the continuous piano hinges with the type that is made from flanges bent to form the tubes for the wire. The two cotter pins would be connected with a cord so I could pull them out with a single motion. I think I might retain one screw on each hinge and hold it in place with a cotter pin bent only enough to keep it in place. This worries me a bit, as I don't want the canopy coming off accidentally. Does anyone have specs for the appropriate rivets? I'd have to add washers to reduce the hole size, as pop rivets the same size as the -10 screws would be much too strong. Does anyone have information from Giles on the recommended attachment devices? (Or from Van's?) I'm considering two approaches: 1.

The construction manual I received with the plane doesn't cover the canopy.

I've seen other planes (RV4, G202) with what look like pop rivets attaching the hinges, which are supposed to tear away when the canopy is unlatched and lifted. Hockley was tasked with building, inspecting, and delivering tooling for the canopy of the F-35 joint strike force fighter jet. The piano hinges have continuous loops encircling the wire, which definitely will not break to release the canopy. F-35 Canopy: A Fitting Example Verisurf Build, also known as the Virtual Gage, displays real-time deviation following the movement of a CMM laser tracker or probe, inspecting the part in relation to the nominal CAD model. My newly purchased G-200 has the canopy piano hinges screwed solidly to the airframe and canopy frame.
