First Prototype of canopy opening mechanism.
Lever pivots at lower hole.. pulls latch back and spring loaded lever pops up canopy frame.
I have one more iteration of this System in the works to see which is best.

That looks very clean! However to my uneducated eye, I do wonder if that high point in the flexible hose routing might be a trap for bubbles/air? It's a little hard to tell from the pictures if relative to aircraft-level any bubbles will return to the tank.
