Noise and wind are distractions but the airplane is flyable. The canopy won't open much further in controlled maneuvering flight as the lift produced by the air flow over it is counteracted by the forces of air flow against the canopy. Perhaps one should review the relationship between the cowl and the prop spinner in the picture as it may indicate something beyond the normal "lift" on the cowl in climb and the thrust forces from the engine/prop.
