Default Canopy jettison handle

Just curious about the possibility of moving the canopy a few inches up/down left/right? The manual doesn't give much guidance as I can see. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

I moved mine down about a half an inch. I don't remember the exact amount.

The handle would make slight contact with the existing through hole to the release mechanism. I filed the opening slightly larger where it made contact.

Works great.
