Parachuting from RV12?
From what I have seen and heard, the test pilots who take the RV's for their first test flights always wear parachutes. Is it possible to parachute out of an RV12? The bubble tilts up / forward into the airflow which I would think would make it an impossible task...unless we hit the "eject" button and "blow" the hinges.
Next, how would one escape from from the RV12 if it flipped over onto its top?
