If I were to exit my beautiful legacy in fllight, I would pull to vertical as if to do a tail slide or hammerhead and at airspeed of 10-20 knts I would remove headset, disengage seat belts, open canapy, and stand up and push off as airspeed approached 0 knts. Be sure to jump clear of fuselage and hold heels together as you pull the ripcord.

Don,
 
With all due respect, there are going to be a myriad of situations this will not be possible, and getting headsets off, seatbelts unbuckled, making an airplane go vertical and then push away from an airlplane that is going to fall back in your direction seems problematical to me. I have a forward hinged canopy on my 360, and two small latches. I think just getting those undone in level flight would require some strong effort.  Just my humble .02...
