• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I noticed that the canopy doesn't open, if fact, it looks like nothing opens using CTRL + E.

As least for me.......Just checking...
 
Well, usually Cntrl-E is used for a quick & dirty engine start. For opening the canopy / door it's usually Shift-E.

Hi GE,

With the Alabeo Gee Bee, the canopy can only be removed via a pop-up menu.

Press Shift+2, which will provide a window with three options, the last of which will allow you to remove the canopy. By doing it this way, Alabeo made it so that you cannot fly the aircraft with the canopy off, as that wouldn't be possible (at least not recommended) in the real aircraft anyway (the canopy assembly itself actually forms a rather significant amount of the rear upper fuselage).
 
Thanks John for the tip. I'll try that next time.
