My extinguisher is velcroed into the 90 degree corner of the fuselage and the aft face of the canopy frame within the fuselage. I think there would have to be some pretty excessive side loads to jar it loose, but your point and idea are well taken. Thanks. On a similar note, I have assumed that bailing out of my Lancair with the forward hinged canopy is just not possible. Then I read the message where Dave Morss demo'd how to stand on the seat to force the canopy open. Is this *really* possible? I mean, I can see it - maybe - if you're pretty darn slow, but sometimes we aren't afforded the luxury of waiting for airspeed to slow - even in a zoom climb. It's a good subject to discuss.
