I roughed in this canopy release design tonite with a vertical actuation handle (removed one part of the Tee handle making it an "L". Note the extension spring to keep the pins engaged. I'm aware of the debate about using the canopy release in flight (not looking to rehash that again). I'd like to keep some form of release for maintenance and, more importantly, for emergency ground egress when parts might be crumpled.
I know some other guys (Davepar, Chad Jensen?) may have done something similar? Not sure these made the cut when avionics started going in though.
Do most radios extend past the subpanel? How about most EFIS'? Any other thoughts?
