Relocate your canopy jettison handle from the instrument panel to the aircraft center console. The kit part number is 14 REMOTE CANOPY RELEASE, and it is available at:

Very nice option. I will seriously reconsider now installing the canopy release.

Is it a possibility to not install it? I don't have a kit/the plans but always thought it was just a necessary part of the build...

@@haydenm.3912 Yes you can ignore its installation. However, I strongly recommend to build the whole system but without the handle in case you sell the plane to someone else.

I love it. Is there any plans to release these kits for the RV7 or other models?

Any videos of the actual use of the handle?

There’s alot of Vans aircraft flying. Has any Vans aircraft ever intentionally jettisoned a canopy? What about unintentionally? What were the results?

I like it, and will order one for my build. Although, the pull handle should be RED.

Red plastidip or similar material can work wonders. :)

How hard is this going to be to install in a completed plane?

@JoshSinclair 2 жыл бұрын

Is there a way to add a safety pin so say a child isn’t able to accidentally pull it?

@FlyVansAircraft 2 жыл бұрын

There is a metal clip included that will allow a retention wire to be installed, which attaches to the handle and requires one to pull hard before the handle will disengage from its seated/closed position. The details are in the OP-68 instructions document (see pages 6-7), which is available on the Van's website: www.vansaircraft.com/service-information-and-revisions/op-63/
