background;
Twice I have had a bee in the cockpit. Once one was discovered at 150' altitude on takeoff. A well aimed swat with my ball cap worked. BUT, I had considered opening the canopy slightly to suck him out, hence my question.
I have read about the N212ZF fatality, but that seems more like the pilot got distracted and forgot his first priority was piloting.
Has anyone cracked the canopy open in flight? What was the side effect?
