Default Canopy opening in flight

Yes. A friend had his Silent F-H canopy unlock, but only noticed it when he was trying to figure out why he couldn’t penetrate as well as he remembered. At least in that model, there was no excessive noise or canopy vibration. Locking it appeared not to be a big issue and he continued the flight. Don’t recall how wide he said it opened, though it couldn’t have been much.
