Careful, the yellow spider lever is not “step one”.

First you have to look for the little switch next to it and right click to close.
This switch may be hidden sometimes, especially if it’s in the UP position.
Have you found it?
After the canopy is closed, you seal it with the spider lever.

Your spider is already in the “Locked” position, possibly from your previous flight. Unlock it, the switch and KB binding will work fine to drop the canopy, then lock it down.

Yes, that is the canopy toggle, which you can still access with the yellow spider in the locked position… but it won’t work until the spider is UP (as in the picture)…
