After putting 17 hours on my Hobbs, while in flight I glanced over to the base of the canopy near the right seat and noticed an approximately 1/8" - 3/8" opening. For a moment I thought I misaligned the canopy or worse yet thought I might have left it unlocked. I didn't. It was fully locked and not misaligned. After landing the "opening" disappeared. I imagine I have generated the opening while flying. The low pressure above the canopy might make the canopy take off a bit like gull wings and then when I landed the opening disappeared. Am I the only one experiencing this? The aluminum alignment pins are still in the longeron area ... just raised a bit and visible while in flight. I am too close to see if the left side of the canopy lifts a bit too ... I imagine it does ... I did feel air coming in there.
Being in FL, I can tell you I don't mind the additional air conditioning ... once again is this "normal"?
While I have your attention, I purchased a small Halon fire extinguisher and I also ordered the -12 interior kit ... where would you suggest I mount the extinguisher since the "forward center console" has a storage pocket that I don't want to give up? Thanks.
