Alain,
That is a really good idea, and I'll look into it. 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.

> case of a crash ,your extinguisher could become a very dangerous bullet
put mine on the forward face of the spar,,just below the passenger's legs.
