I flew one this way 10 years ago in NZ with a documentary camera guy

back seat there was an alarming amount of turbulance buffeting me
about the head. *I could not hear my passenger unless he turned and
shouted at me. *I wouldn't do it again without helmet and goggles for
the back seat pilot. *On an amusing note, in the video, the windstorm
in the back made my hair gyrate around atop my head in an unreal
spastic manner that makes me look like a possesed maniac.

Or perhaps I should say a more possesed maniac.

about flying Blaniks with the 'sport canopy' mod as in this video.
Anyone know the specific performance penalties or of any aerodynamic
quirks from this arrangement? Off hand it seems like it would be fun
to occasionally 'go topless' in the ole Blanik at the club from time
to time...

Matt, do you have that video in a format you could share? I'd think
some of us would love to see that :-)

You can see it when you come to get your K6 next weekend but I don't
have it web view-able as of yet.
