| Subject: | Re: Rear Seat Canopy Release Handle |
Al,What I tell my passengers is, if I am unable to help, to reach forward t
o open the canopy using the front seat handle.=C2- If you sit in the rear
seat you should find that the forward handle is reachable.=C2- Even some
one who is short, such as a child, can reach it.=C2- In fact, small peopl
e can reach it easier because they can squeeze forward easier than large pe
ople.=C2- Adults should have no problem reaching the handle.I tell them t
o turn the handle 90 degrees counterclockwise to release and then pull symm
etrically on both sides of the canopy.I also keep a canopy breaker tool in
the cockpit for them to use in case the airplane is inverted and resting on
the canopy, thus making it difficult to slide even though they can reach t
he handle.As far as a secondary handle added for the rear seat, I have not
heard of anyone doing that.Regards,=C2-Stan Sutterfield
