Not quiet blow, but force it open.
Had my spit engine shot to bits, earlyer and as i was heading towards the sea, i try,d to open my canopy, but it would not open, anyways i ended up upside down in the sea

it wasnt a pleasant way to go......
so how do you, or can you force it open?
regards
Doc
Also can you put engine fires out, by going into a steep dive?
