Default Stay in, or get out?

I was actually surprised how easy it was to get out of the
cockpit. Having undone the harness it seemed like no trouble at all to
just roll over the canopy rail and out into the wild blue yonder. I
have a below knee artificial right leg so I had considered this
scenario for some time, expecting to have a lot of trouble just
getting my leg past the instrument panel, but no, it was really a
piece of cake.

I have the same right leg modification as you, so I'm very happy to hear
that getting out wasn't a problem. I'd wondered if it might be a problem.

Did the leg cause any problems when you landed?
