I can assure you that flying open cockpit is a blast!

Reminds me of the time my whale was sitting near the runway
at Sugarbush without its overhead canopy.
Loud local pundit: "Dave, where's your canopy".
Wuffo: "Dave's thinking of flying without it".
Loud local pundit: "It will have inadequate pitch authority!
Unrecoverable in a spin! You'll crash and die! What a hair-
brained idea!" .... and a truly excessive long rant....

When he finally, face red, ran out of breath, all I could say
was: I just had a great hour-plus flight, bit loud but flies
great. And I did have a big grin!

See ya, Dave

Hmm: Perhaps an ArcusM Sport Canopy?
Gotta keep the hats out of the prop though.
Don't ask why I know this is a problem ;-)
