This happened to me last year early on in my solo student period.
Top latch on the PA28 didn't shut properly and I didn't realise until after take off when it started to open at the top.
These latches are horrible things and difficult to close at the best of times.
I continued my exercise and landed ,told CFI and he said I should have landed as soon as I realised what had happened.
I thought slipstream would keep it closed but it really was bulging open at the top and a knowledgeable pal told me they do open due to neg pressure on upper wing surface(Benoulli and all that)
Is this true?
