Many have said that to make opening the RV-8 canopy easier to open from the outside, they have installed a handle at the rear of the canopy to pull up and back on. My canopy was recently finished and when I try to open the canopy while sitting in the plane, I find it hard to start to open due to the twisting of the canopy as you pull only on one side. While checking out the RV-8's at OSH last year; I noticed a few with a handle on the right side of the canopy so that the pilot can pull on both sides when opening. Anyone know how this is attached to an already built canopy? TIG?
Thanks,
