I am looking at options to replace my RV6 that was sold. I have a question on flopper canopies. A very close personal friend who looks exactly like me once took off in the RV6 with the canopy unlatched. No real issue on a tipup. If a flopper canopy is in the closed position but not properly latched what happens? Is it going to depart the aircraft ASAP or will it stay at lower air speeds.
How do most handle a flopper canopy in the summer. Is it generally acceptable to taxi with it fully open or generally is there a intermediate position used.
