I got checked out in a Grumman Tiger at Bertea in Corvallis many years ago

Which operators manual would that be?

It is entirely OK to open a Grumman Cheetah or Tiger canopy in flight.
It is even placarded in the plane at what airspeeds you should do this
at, and how far you may slide the canopy back.
