Hi to all the KR'ers out there! Have you ever wondered what would happen if your canopy opens in flight? I suppose it depends on the way the canopy opens and other factors! Here is a short article I wrote on what happened to me, some of you might have read it but if not have a look, and then make sure it will NEVER happen to you.......
In my 2000+ hours of flying, including test flying a few new planes and 6 engine failures this was by far the scariest thing that ever happened to me. http://rudix.5gbfree.com/ZS-VYZ/Stories/oops.htm On a brighter note, ZS-VYZ is just about repaired, I also did a few mods, a priming system and 2 additional canopy latches!
