Beats me... i do love a good 150 though

The grumman Cheetah,Tiger,Traveler etc all had a canopy mechanism which you had to slide the whole canopy forward, then cycle the handle to the open then closed position. (think toilet flush handle)

bad news with those was - you tweak the airframe in an off airport landing... its probably going to be jammed

good news - free air conditioning on the ground (and in flight you could open it up about 10-13 inches)
