This weekend my son was experimenting with his 6A trying to figure out why people claim you can not open and close the slider in-flight. What he discovered is that you can. He slowed up to 70mph indicated and opened the canopy without any issue. He said it closed fine until he got to about 2", then it would not go. What he discovered was that the pins that hold the rear of the slider in were flexed out, and would not align with the blocks that hold them. I am not sure what technique he developed to correct that, but now he has flown several times opening and close his slider in-flight. I will find out what his maximum speed has been...
