More on Canopy Modes.

I have been reminded by LightShip folks that any use of intermediate canopy positions is for camping only not towing. Also the current gaskets and seals around the canopy and tub are only effective in the canopy full up and full down position. At intermediate positions of canopy travel large gaps open up to the outside particularly around the windows and the doors.

So any use of intermediate canopy positions to conserver HVAC power usage would have to be done by filling those large gaps. Clearly it can be done with more canopy and tub seals but those seals would be exposed depending on canopy position and would not be cosmetically appealing. A large pressurized air gap seal around the perimeter of canopy could be one future option. Aircraft have used air pressurized seals for years and the work very well. Such a seal would seal off the cabin at any canopy position.
