Just a thought about the canopy which produced embarrassment and frustration
by getting locked from the outside while occupants were inside.

It begs the question - what would you do if you needed to exit the a/c in a
hurry due to an emergency and this condition presented itself - either
because of the locking problem or some other jam?  Does anyone have any
tools or ideas about how to get out of this thing quickly should an
emergency arrive?

It seems that any Lancair IV could be difficult to pop open, but the
pressurized version may be even more so with thicker windshield and beefed
up connections all over.

Regards,
John Barrett
