Pat, Congratulations on your new plane! I moved your thread out of classifieds to general discussion for better responses. Which canopy do you have, tip-up or slider?

Neal@F14 Well Known Member Sep 16, 2011 #6 I stole Randy's idea from this thread: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showpost.php?p=17506&postcount=8 Work's great to hold an 8's canopy open at the halfway point for taxiing. It was pretty cheap too ($15), from McMaster: http://www.mcmaster.com/#8478a3/=e3b5yw I used only one on the left side rail, and I can easily reach the knob while seated and seatbelts fastened.
