Mark, 

I agree with about leaving the canopy closed during a
crash.  

And for those thinking the close up of the picture of
the Legacy in flight indicates the mount is broken, I
looked at mine today and notice the lines on the side
of the cowl look exactly the same.  Did I build it
wrong?  Don't think so since Tim Ong helped with the
cowl installation.
