What are the chances that this will happen with the canopy down?

Subject: Lightning-List: ******* Fire hazzard *****
Buz, I think this cant wait till the next newsletter:
Today I had a great day of flying and just came in from 3 hrs
flight and pulled up to the gas pumps. Got 8.6 gallons and went into the
FBO to pay for it and someone came in and said my plane was on fire.
Smoke was coming from the cockpit and the instrument panel cover was
burning.
What had happened is it was a great day here in New York, bright
sun and no wind. I had left my canopy up and the sun was directly
behind the aircraft. The canopy was like a big parabolic reflector and
focused the sun to a nice small spot on the dash. Thus the fire. Not to
much damage for it was noticed quickly.
This happened here in New York, then down south of the Mason
Dixie line or warmer areas it could be more of a problem.
Tex

Hi Tex,
Good that this was caught right away or the results could have been
much worse. And thanks to you for posting it. Very likely your notification
on the list will keep someone else from having the same problem. In fact,
this is not the first example of the sun using this canopy as a magnifying
glass to heat up the glare shield over the instrument panel. It actually
happened one year at Sun-N-Fun to one of the Lightning aircraft on display.
Nick or Mark can cover the specifics, but at least someone was standing
close by and noticed either the smoke or smell before it got out of hand.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Probably very little to none. But keeping the canopy cracked open would allow some ventilation and minimize possible wind damage to the canopy from a sudden gust.
