"Superdoof" wrote Imagine if Svetlana Kapanina, or Patty Wagstaff had their canopies open. There'd be hair everywhere. Patty has short hair, now. I liked her much better as a curly headed brunette. I have the opposite fear of the canopies that the windshield and canopy overhead are all one piece, and the hinges are at the leading edge of the canopy. What would you do if you wanted to get out of the crashing airplane, and had a parachute, of course? I understand that some have an emergency hinge release. That would be better than noting, but then you get to wear the canopy in your face, I would think. I surely would be very uncomfortable flying a plane without a hinge release, especially while testing, or flying acro. -- Jim in NC |
