I, too, had the right rear canopy (parallel)
latch pop open after take-off. Frightened the b******s out of me. Easily (re)-latched.
Also my emergency checklist nominates the two rear latches unlocked before a
forced landing.

Interesting...I had a canopy open in
flight. Uhhh, well, yes I took off without it latched, idiot that I am. I
noticed no uncontrollable pitching. The canopy stayed open 2 or 3 inches. The
airplane flew quite normally...no problems.

Legacy crash - speculation
--snip--What
can cause loss control is a canopy that is hinged at the front and comes open
in flight. --snip
