That's what we did with Howard's (ie both windows have key locks) as you
never know which side may end up tied to the dock, when you're on floats.
Can be seen in the wide view picture that I posted of the window vent last
week. Note the aluminum reinforcement of the area that we used, vs the "just
rivet to the lexan" of the (old) manual instructions.

Cheers,
Wayne

FWIW, I went with the MAM stock window and latch setup and am satisfied

with

how mine works. If I was doing it over, I would add another key lock to

the

passenger side, same as on the pilot side, and move the single latch about

2

inches towards the front. Back when I was on wheels, and I cruised a

little

faster, the front of the window would open just slightly (1/16 inch?), but
not enough to cause a problem. On floats they stay nice and tight shut. I
know a lot of people didn't like this set-up, but quite happy with mine.

It's like the MAM tail wheel, everyone seems to think it needs to be
changed. Again, I was very happy with mine, and it steered just fine, and
the kick-out piece worked well, too, just as long as the chains and
everything were adjusted right.

Does anyone happen to know what time the alternate engine seminar starts
tomorrow in Kitchener, Ontario ???

For an on topic question - does anyone have a Rebel window latch
arrangement that they are pleased with? It would be nice to have
something that can be opened from outside and inside, and that latches
the window in two places.

thanks
Ken
