Hello all -
is anyone familiar with any RV6 ditching incidents and/or recommended procedures/egress?
I'm planning a bit of an over-water leg and want to have something in mind should the worst occur.
My RV6 has the tilting canopy and biggest worry is, should we end up upside down, getting out of the aircraft with water pressure keeping the canopy tight shut until the cockpit has filled with water and pressure equalizes
But jettisoning the canopy prior to ditching doesn't seem an option for fear of damage to the fin.
Anyone got any info?
Thanks!
