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...

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. - Mark, RV6A, 240 hours - Recent Activity -1 New MembersVisit Your Group Yahoo!
