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.

don't think opening the canopy in preparation for a
crash is such a good idea.

I think an unlatched canopy has a much greater
possibility of being torn from the fuselage. If it
*IS* torn from the fuselage, I would think there's a
good chance it will strike the occupant(s).
Additionally, a closed and latched canopy can
provide the occupants protection from debris, fuel
and fire postcrash.
Regards,

Mark Sletten
