| Subject: | Re: emergency extrication |
Guys,
This might be sheer fantasy, but I was thinking about the problem of getting
the canopy open in flight and this occurred to me... Keep in mind that I'm
early in my build (RV-9, undecided on canopy) so it's based only on casual
observation of others' planes. I have no idea if it's technically feasible.
Assuming you have a tip-up canopy and have the canopy remove/jettison handle
installed (I assume this pulls the hinge pins) and the appropriate slots cut
in your forward top fuselage skin...
Then you reinforce an area of the forward canopy between the hinges and
mount a device like this: http://www.cartactdev.com/thrusters.html with a
decent throw (maybe 4-6") to the bulkhead that's up there. Rig it to the
canopy release cable such that it fires only after the hinge pins are
removed (say first 12" pulls the pins and it takes another 12" of pull to
fire the piston). These things are capable of exerting 125-6000 psi
depending on the model.
The piston would whack the forward underside of the canopy and push it up
into the slipstream, whereupon it would blow away (and/or decapitate you,
depending on your luck).
Any reason this couldn't work?
Like I said, just daydreaming...
Matt

I agree for the most part but IMO those Cost (sic) Guard guys haven't
been protecting the cost of my stocks very well lately.

Subject: High oil pressure indications
Since I finished my condition inspection 2 weeks ago I have flown 6 times.
I an O320 with 240 hours and Grand Rapids engine monitor and EFIS. I have h
ad a few instances of the oil pressure showing about 91 or 92 and alarming
for about one minute, and then it goes down to the usual range around 60 to
65. During the last few flights it was around 86 to 88 during the first fe
w muntes of flight and than back down to 65. Not sure if it is safe to fly
or what the problem is. My guess is pressure sensor or relief valve. Any id
eas.
