Fix a cord from the canopy bubble so you can pull it closed easily while sitting . second fit a pin on the end and mount bracket on the shelf behind to place pin in when closed . Leave 2-3 inches slack so if canopy is opened you can notice plus rescue folks can just cut it open . This way if doing a forced landing you can open the catch early , as per the doors on a plane to help getting out of a bent plane. Sorry to hear about this accident. Hope both make full recovery.

Any one seen one on a 601? Seen one on the 701 on the web site. -------- Austria ...guess where I work!
