RE: X-treme Jets Dragon Crash
First off, I am very sorry for your loss.
Last weekend I lost my Dragon canopy but luckily I didn't even realize it until Ianded in convertible configuration. No change in handling.
Upon inspection I noticed the the top of the windshield had a leak between it and the upper brace. My guess is that air pressure built up and off came the canopy. The hole in the back where the latch goes in is very thin and may have failed. Hopefully that's all it was.
I also added the extra former in the back as well as installed another former between it and the motor since I had seen pictures of the belly sucked in.
Again, sorry for your loss. I hole that Skymaster will make it right since there is no evidence of wrong doing that I could see.
