<p>Not my favorite feature either. In the event of a stuck latch, I have a slot on either side in the flashing,( so I can see it latched), and push forward on the latch mechanism to release it - with a screwdriver/whatever inside the airplane.</p>

<p>Don, if I understood well, you are unable to unlock the canopy.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am not familiar with this particular setup, but based on the next to the last photo, I would try to drill a hole on either side of the bolt and use needle pliers to try and rotate the lock.</p>
<p>Failing that, the next possibility is to cut or remove the flashing around the lock...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Good luck</p>
