What was found
CANOPY INTERLOCKS ARE FABRICATED FROM A NYLON OR DELRON SYNTHETIC MATERIAL THAT BECAME WORN IN AN UNSEEN LOCATION. THE WEAR IS FROM THE FORWARD CANOPY METAL LOCKING ROD CONTINUOUSLY PUSHING OVER THE PLASTIC INTERLOCK. THE WORN INTERLOCK EVENTUALLY DID NOT ALLOW THE REAR CANOPY LOCKING ROD TO ENGAGE INTO IT'S LOCKED POSITION. DURING TAKEOFF, THE AERODYNAMIC FORCES PULLED THE CANOPY OPEN AND BLEW OUT THE PLEXIGLASS AND BENT THE CANOPY SUPPORT STRUCTURE. CHECKED OTHER TWO AIRCRAFT OF SAME TYPE AND BOTH SHOWED THE SAME WEAR AND DEFECT. SUGGEST INTERLOCK PART BE MADE FROM A MORE RESILIENT MATERIAL.
