7.8. Canopy
The canopy consists of an epoxy fibreglass composite frame and of
profiled acrylic sheet. The canopy can be moved forward, rotating
around an axis located in front of the cabin. After entering the cabin
the canopy should be pulled on the handle and lowered, until it rests
on the fuselage sidewall edges, and then locked with the levers with
orange knobs. Sliding venting tabs are installed on both sides of the
canopy. Jettisoning of the canopy is achieved by pulling the lever with
the red knob and pushing the canopy upwards. The locking and the
jettisoning levers are arranged in the front part of the canopy on both
sides, one of each,
on
each side.
