Olsen" Subject: Formation Flying Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" I am taking Formation Flying training in the Detroit area. My instructor had me take out the passenger seat back so his parachute would fit. My question is: "With the original canopy(not hinged forward), can you get out?". One time I forgot to latch all 4 latches. After about 5 minutes, I thought that the plane sounded a little loud. No Problem, I latched the latches. This implies, to me, that there is a pretty good force holding the canopy down, when in flight. Does anyone know if that force can be broken? I am flying formation with an RV-4. If anyone with a Lancair could make a commitment to come to south central Michigan(KADG) once a week from 0900 till 1300 hours, the formation flight training would be free. -- Lorn H.
