The canopy release handle is not centered on the panel if the rod from the mechanism is positioned perpendicular to the subpanel.
Does anybody know if the canopy release handle can be located on the centerline of the panel instead of right of center, ie, not perpendicular to the subpanel but rather at a slight angle?
Pictures of one of the Van's airplanes looks as though they did this but I do not know to what effect with respect to operation of the release mechanism.
Thanks,
