  • Locking Pin Issues?

    I took my F-22 out this morning and I couldn't get the locking pin for the canopy to lock. I have the same issue with my FlightLine P-51. The pin gets jammed and won't lock. Has anyone else been dealing with locking pin problems? If it was one model I would write it off as just one of those things but two different models? May be a manufacturing issue...

    The only one I have had issues with is the Flightline P-38.

        I took a sharp knife and made the hole in the plastic tab (what you grab to pull it off) bigger. Mine at first wouldn't lock. I place the cover on and push the lock in to the plastic tab so it would mark to see how far it was off. The plastic tabe hole was the only thing off.
