Carsten. Congrats on the maiden. Looks like the canopy blew out. There is a lot of pressure inside the fuz when flying, especially with the P200 speeds. I added some epoxy all the way around mine. I also cut a circular hole about 1.5inches diameter at the rear end of the fuz just below the rudder to release some of the pressure. I also opened up the holes in the rear thrust tube former as much as possible. This was originally done in an attempt to prevent the gear doors opening when flying using the standard door cylinders.

Regards
Jim
