It begins to fog up just after closing the canopy and proceeds to worsen thru run-up. A cloth is needed to get enough visibility to taxi. Immediately upon adding power for takeoff, it starts to clear and by lift-of the canopy is completely clear. This is due to the increased air movement in the very untight cabin. In my opinion, defrosting is definately not worth the least amount of time or effort. Fred(Don't fly like my brother)N9BF
