Since
the canopy on the full size aircraft was not hydraulically operated I have
decided to use a simple piano wire to hold it down for flight. For
static and to gain access to the electronics bay the nose cone slides
off and then the wire is pulled back releasing the canopy.
Once
the canopy is released it can be rotated to the side but some
resistance is needed to hold it up and to give it the proper feel when
rotating so I have just used a spare air cylinder to add resistance. It
is not connected to any air supply just friction holds the canopy in
place.
