  Subject: [LML] Legacy Canopy Hing 
  Cross-Tube
  
  Greetings,
   
  I have been contemplating whether or not to remove the canopy 
  hinge cross tube.  It does get in the way of all the wiring and 
  electronic gear on the avionics shelf.
   
  Any opinions on the merits of the Canopy Hinge Cross-Tube?  
  Is it necessary for canopy stability (in winds)?     Have 
  you taken yours out?  or left it in?
   
  Thank you,
  John
