Do you mean that the people who have had a canopy open are somehow inferior and wlll be naturally removed because they aren't cut out to be pilots? Is that the meaning of your message? Or is that a canopy that can be opened is a way of selecting better pilots in this world. Please explain your Darwin comment to us. I really want to know how that works into the problem here.

PS: for the dolts who can't figure it out, there's another mode of canopy opening that won't be solved with a checklist on the ground. Think outside the cabin should be the first rule on this subject.

Pre-takeoff checklist

Trim, fuel selector, mixture, prop, push up (hard) on the canopy. (five plus one)

This isn't a big deal to me. I don't think drama surrounding the canopy is needed or deserved.

It has been shown that while tricky, the airplane is controllable if you happen to leave the canopy open. Just don't stop flying the airplane. Better yet, don't leave it unlocked.
