On the Standard Cirrus Sailplanes web site http://standardcirrus.org/ down
the bottom is a link to early canopy ejection trials and the design of the
Roeger Hook Project , i wont go into how they did it but the 4 odd video's
explain it really well.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] E:Discus fuel/canopy knob
Yep, my Ventus 2cx (T but no engine fitted) has the black canopy jettison
knob followed by a black fuel cock knob - can be confusing! I painted mine
red ( canopy knob that is). The only thing going for it is that if you
pull
it in flight accidentally the canopy doesn't actually jettison, I did it
accidentally whilst having a brain drain thinking it was the water dump
valve ( that's another black thingo on the same side and requires 2 hands
sometimes to operate it!) - I quickly returned it back to its closed
position, I guess if I had hit a bump it could have departed, luckily
there
is no spring loaded system.

Could be worse:
Confusing the fuel cock and canopy jettison on a Discus 2T could make life
interesting...
