why was that anyway?

wouldn't it make alot of drag, or did it help in turns with the drag being at the top?

It was so they could bail out quicker.

I love this answer.

Why?  You hate Citabria? You hate the idea? It can't presently be done?

If for no other reason, you got to admire Superfly for his brevity:D.  I do hope that someday they give us the ability to open the canopy in all a/c, though.

well,,know matter what you all think about Citabria question,,he has a valid point,,that plane dont look right with the canopy closed,, they did fly with it open all the time,,{even in the movies} i dont see any reason to go threw a bunch of trouble just to fix it


im sure superfly doesnt wanna go threw and fix a plane they just got out in the last patch,,not worth the time,,,but i dont think you all should be clapping because superfly said no,,,,,, citabria had a valid question,,,im not sure about his othere post,,,but he is right about this,,but!!,,,i dont think it will help aces high at all,,,so if the window's stays closed, well ,thats fine with me
