I may have suggested this before but here goes again.  Build in an escape
path,
through the rear windows, in the event of the aircraft ending up on its
back.

My thought is to make the rear windows removable from inside by placing a
wire or maybe .050 cable between the fuselage and the window when it is
bonded in.
With a handle attached to the cable (or two cables and handles to keep the
pull
shorter).  I hope it would cut through the plexiglass or peel the adhesive
bond.
Or maybe a strip of .020 aluminum about 3/8" wide around the perimeter of
the windows attached to a handle for peel. What do you think?
