I'm curious about the "sport canopy". Do you refer to flying with the
canopy removed? Is this something people talk about?

Not exactly removed, but replaced with one which only covers the front to
block the incoming wind, leaving the top and sides open. Kind of like a
convertible. I've never used one but I've heard they're fun, although they
cost a fair bit of performance.

Here are a couple links to pictures of an 1-26 "Sport Canopy:"
