Canopy slams into Pilot's Head
Wolfgang Dallach flying his Diabolo gets hit in the head when his canopy accidentally opens.
This is not the first time this has happened... Also this airplane was the first Laser/Stephens Akro with a I0-540 engine ever. As seen in the video it has 260 hp, but initially(in 1983) it had a 330hp engine. Back in its day this plane was truly awesome. This was about the same time the first Extra 230 came out, there were no Sukhoi's yet. Edge 540s would follow ten years later. |

Re: Canopy slams into Pilot's Head
Cool Dude! Very entertaining! I'm surprised the impact of the canopy against that dudes head didn't make him bleed! Awesome Video. Thanks for posting! Take Care
