OOOOOoooooohhhhh.

Dave 'crack kills' Hyde


I've heard the joke about carrying a drill with a standard bit, since we all
know that canopies will crack if you get a drill near them :-) Fortunately,
my RV-8 canopy never cracked in two years I flew it, and the current RV-3
canopy hasn't, and probably won't crack, because it was supplied by Todd's
Canopies.

Thanks to all who commented. Ron, the sight you point me to is down at the
moment, but I'll keep trying. Dan, I've sent an email about the surplus
military tools you mentioned. As for using det cord, pistols, or any sort
of explosive device, I would worry about starting a fire. I imagine being
on my back in the RV-3, with fuel dribbling around the canopy area on the
ground. Just doesn't seem like a good idea to use explosives.

Thanks again,
Rusty (building 3 planes for every one that Dave finishes g)
