Up until I moved my craft to the hangar, I always either had the tail up on something, had the canopy removed and or did not have the wings on.
Now that the wings are on, the tail is on the ground and the canopy is on, I find that on the taildragger, the canopy does not open far enough to make it easy to get in and out without putting some serious weight on the roll bar since the person getting in and out is off balance.
Has anyone noticed this but me? Anyone got any ideas to make this better?
It would be nice if the struts would allow the canopy to go more vertical but this would mean different struts and or anchor points that start getting in the way.
Is there such a thing as a telescoping strut with the same load capability?
