Hi all, 

  

I have a 601 HDS that originally had the side hinging spring loaded  latch.  On inspection, the DAR yanked on the canopy like mad and it stayed put.  On my MAIDEN FLIGHT, I was turning onto base (or final, I can't remember) when my canopy was torn off.  My hat and head set blew off and found myself in 9.5/10 pucker conditions.  I remembered to "Fly the airplane" and made my first landing without incident.  I replaced the canopy with the front hinged XL variety.  No further issues since the replacement.
