Spring loaded "door" style canopy latch for the Mini Talon. You'll need a small spring from a pen to complete.
The front latches are a slight remix to add a little more wiggle room for 3mm bamboo skewers. I still had to slightly enlarge them for an easy fit.
**HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE LATCH**
1. Before gluing anything together use the top plate as a guide to cut the hatch on the Mini Talon.
* Take the top plate and set it at the rear of the hatch.
* Mark all 5 tab locations using the top plate
* Remove the top plate
* Play "connect the dots with the exterior markings"
* Those are your cutting guides, cut along those lines, you may need to use a razor saw to get through the plywood.
2. Insert the spring into the latch and insert the latch into the body (the piece with the 5 tabs)
3. Make sure the latch moves SMOOTHLY if it doesn't, find out why and fix it. The spring should move easily into the body of the latch...if it does not you may need to use a drill
