I?m installing a second canopy latch to hold it open during taxi and run up to get some air in the RV-8 in addition to the canopy latch already installed that holds it halfway open so I can close it when I fly alone without having to break my back twisting all the way back there.
How far open can the canopy be without damaging it or anything else while I do the engine run-up before take off?
Some say 6" some say 12", just want to be sure from those who have it installed and use their canopy open during run-ups. Thanks.
