Default FLARM antenna mounts for ASG-29

Oh? Have any of them attempted to jettison their canopies in flight and had
it remain attached by that coax cable and/or mount?

I only expressed doubts due to the forces expected by the huge drag of the
jettisoned canopy. I can't control what "some of the top pilots in the
world" think or do. It's up to them to decide for themselves. I stand by
my doubt.

BTW, there is absolutely NOTHING connected to my canopy. It will float
freely away should I pull the handle.

Dan, some of the top pilots in the world flying 29's will disagree with
you and have taken precautions for their antenna installation.
