Hello Gerard,

Yes, it's quite possible. I carry a small foam block that I wedge between 
the canopy top and the rollover part of the fuselage. It keeps the canopy 
open about  1 1/2 inches. With the enging running this draws quite a bit of 
air into the cockpit and makes it bearable even on the hottest days. If, 
however,  you attempt to taxi with the canopy fully open it obstructs your 
forward vision.
