When my canopy came up so did the nose
uncontrollably. Makes me wonder why the plane got slow and stalled….??

I
have to agree with Kevin. In addition to this report that includes a successful
flight with an open canopy. I know of another in Texas (Don Bird)who successfully
landed with the canopy open. I also know the Lakeland crash was the result of a stall. Yes,
the canopy was a contributing factor to but the airplane simply got to slow and
stalled. As far as I know, there has been no flight testing done with a
Legacy in this configuration. We have some anecdotal reports and that’s
it.
