Didn't Mike Campbell's "Dream Catcher" have a jettisonable canopy?

I don't know how Mike did it, but my approach would be a big honking lever to 
yank the two pins which attach the front of the forward-hinge canopy to the 
header tank.  It would be nice if an attached cable unlatched the rear of the 
canopy as well (a cleaner separation).

And no, I haven't done any engineering on this.

- Rob Wolf

[Mike's approach was a T-handle attached to a pair of cables that
removed the forward hinge pins.  I think there actually may have been a
pair of them, one to remove some C-rings or circlips from the pins, the
other to remove the pins themselves.  I hope this helps.
