A low profile design with a small spring locking latch for any doors, hatches, panels, etc. The Hatch Latch is secured in place using CA (cyanoacrylate). The unit is approx. 1" long X 3/8" wide. Can be painted.1/pkg. (0.75 grams/ea.) Notes from Dave: This is a nice compact latch that works well and is a little more robust than the photo implies. I saw a couple of these used on RA Cores models at NEAT 2011 and decided to get them on hand for everyone.
A secure hatch keeps a canopy or access cover closed in flight while still allowing quick access to a battery or receiver on the ground, and this category collects hatch latches suited to that job. A latch that holds firmly yet releases cleanly makes preflight checks and battery swaps faster.
Radical RC Hatch Latches
The Radical RC hatch latches come in metal and plastic versions and in large and small sizes, letting you match the latch to the weight of the hatch and the space available. Metal versions suit heavier or higher-stress covers, while plastic options save weight on light models. Keeping a spare latch on hand means a stripped or lost one need not ground the model for long.
Push-Button and Flush Releases
The Fourmost flush button hatch release and the Du-Bro hatch latch offer low-profile options that sit close to the surface for a clean look.
See the latches below to find one that fits your hatch and its mounting.
