Retrofitting Roeger Hook
Has anyone installed a Roeger hook or similar device (DG offers a
spring-loaded pin that is supposed to accomplish the same thing for older DG and LS gliders) on an older glider? The recent thread on helmets made reference to the known danger of the canopy hitting the pilot in the head in the event of jettisoning a front-hinged canopy in order to bail out. The Roeger hook is designed to prevent this by fixing the rear of the canopy so it becomes a pivot point about which the canopy lifts off and up over the pilot in the slipstream.
