Everyone seems to have one. But how is it done? And what EXACTLY are you sensing? Contact between canopy and rail? Handle fully closed? Handle locked? I know there is a world of micro switches out there Installing one, or even two to sense close proximity of canopy and rail isn't theoretically hard, but I couldn't find a thread on exactly how anyone did it. Also, no doubt air loads may alter the fit of a canopy in flight, so I'd guess certain locations around the canopy perimeter would be more reliable than others. Or, maybe those are the exact location to keep an eye on? A single sensor, or more than one? In series, so if any one of them loses contact, I get the light? Inquiring minds want to know.
