This may or may not be relevant to open canopy controllability, but I think the preceding description is backwards.  The tail provides negative lift in level flight, pushing the nose down, not up.  If the open canopy blanketed the tail, I think the nose would have pitched up, not down.  
 
Let's see, if your CG is in front of the CL which way does the tail have to push to keep you level?
