Haven't been on the forum for a while - head down building. We are at the point on our AcroDuster Too build where we need to determine how to mount the canopy. I have searched the site for info and got some, but need to get specific answers to proceed forward:
1. Will a single piece canopy work on the two place aircraft and still allow for jettisoning?
2. Will a 'tip to the side' canopy fit under the upper wing in the front?
3. Is a Front windscreen, with a 'tip to the side' canopy a better tradeoff? I have seen one that way and believe it offers a benefit of having a windscreen in front of you in case you loose your canopy.
4. Is it possible to do a front windscreen with a slider canopy arrangement? Has one been done?
5. Are there any other configurations we should consider?
If anybody has some examples of canopy installation designs I would really appreciate it. We want to add any structural provisioning before we get much farther
