Any experience with this lightweight hatch?

Has anyone seen or used this hatch?
It only weighs 6 pounds, and looks like it would work great with the FAL hatch glass. Not a bad or costly way to save 50 lbs.

Looks like that must be another Pettit website...

I noticed that some of the pictures and products look familiar. I e-mailed them about the hatch and they said it isn't really for street use, because it's so thin, isn't lockable and isn't strong enough to hold a wing.
The things I do, to save a few pounds.

Why don't you check out the Knightsports hatch on this website, it's light, and it's fully functional.

I'm afraid to see to find out the price, where as the other one seems rather reasonable.

I have it. I wasn't willing to put it on. It is very thin.

Brand new, never used, bought about 6 weeks ago from Pettit.

If you want it, PM me. I'll sell it cheap. I have the fiberglass one though not the CF. I would say mine weighs about 6 lbs as well if that.

I get the impression that this thing is a little more significant and more stock like, though heavier and more cash, it does include the window too...
