Nothing better to do on a cold winter's day but to examine the photos of that canopy
and try to figure out how the cockpits are accessed. I've thought about
several possibilities for both canopies.
The front canopy may be flat plastic that is simply wrapped over the tubular framework.
If it's hinged up along the middle of the top, it could be held up flat
to the underside of the wing while the pax climbs in, then the bottom latched
in place or a hinge pin slipped in if it's a piano hinge.
The rear canopy is more baffling. As Bill observes, there is clearly a notch in
the aft edge to allow it to slide part-way over the antenna. If the lower edges
of the canopy are on drawer-slide type tracks, it could slide back enough
to allow entry, but I don't think that notch would allow it to go back very far
over the antenna.
Currently registered to George Lockhart in Pugwash, Nova Scotia... apparently with
a beautiful view across Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island. Probably
need an engine warmer up there ;o)
