If the canopy comes open on a Legacy on
early takeoff, it will pop up really high and blank off the air to the horizontal
stabilizer and give you real pitch issues. If you are not going too fast
at the time it will bounce up and down and your pitch control will come and
go. Makes for a real mess cleaning up the upholstery after you get
stopped! :>) Don’t ask me how I came to know this
information! :>)

Subject: [LML] Door
Has anyone
had the fun of forgetting to properly latch the door and have it pop
open on a IV/IVP/Propjet?
I haven't
done so to date, but am curious if anyone knows the result.
I have had
door open on Bonanza prior & was really no big deal other than noisy.
Wondering if same on Lancair.
