Can anyone tell me if you there are any limitations on flying a Chimpunk with the canopy open. I see pictures on the net of Australian ones flying with the canopy on the first stop back but there is no mention of it in any manuals or cards that I have for the UK versions.

The only owner I have discussed it with said that when he tried it the canopy rolled to the rear stop.

I would like to get a bit more air through the cockpit on a hot day so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
