How does the canopy get slammed open? Why?
I've been flying with my slider for 10+ years, never has it been slammed
open!

I know this isn't strictly on topic, but it is something that has the potential
to adversely affect all of us in the USA.
I hope you all are aware of the White House's proposal to charge $100 per flight
leg to all turbine aircraft.
If not, here is one place there is an explanation: http://www.generalaviationnews.com/2012/05/03/user-feesonly-3035-against/
Here is the site to sign the petition:

Do not archive!
