----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Here's one other thought about the bubble vs. the flat windshield: With my flat windshield, as I fly with my windows open, I can push my fingers up about 4-5 inches above the window-line before feeling the slipstream. I think the flat windshield "flings" the air upward.
Speculation: The curve of the bubble may let (or make) the slipstream conform more tightly to the line where the windows would be. I'm thinking the flat windshield may give a bit more buffer from the slipstream when flying windows-open. Now I've never owned a bubble windshield plane. Could those with access to both try sticking their fingers up to see if there's a difference or give some judgment of wind flow inside the cockpit when flying windows open? I'm curious.
