I know that I could miss a check list item, warning light, etc. but I doubt that I would miss a foam tube along the side of my head along with takeoff prop wash. The "either - or" option of having the canopy open or locked would work for me. Greg Milnar -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
