Default Twin Cadillac?

More like Mercedes of two-seaters, your Cadillac of two seaters would
be S2-33...

I believe you're thinking of the SGS 2-32 for the Schweizer/Cadillac
analogy - big, strong, heavy-metal, roomy, etc. Too bad the 2-32 never
had a convertible option like the 1-26's sport canopy............

It does.

All you have to do is mistake the canopy release for the tow rope
release.... That's easy since Schweizer never adopted the world standard of
yellow for the tow release but sometimes painted the canopy latches yellow.

Or, you can get a shirt sleeve cuff entangled with a canopy latch, then try
to scratch your nose. (There are no springs to hold the latch closed - it
relies on very light friction instead.)

Or, fail to engage the canopy latch pins since the latch will appear to
close with the pins outside their holes.

Or, have a passenger reach for the emergency canopy release and ask, "What
does this gizmo do?"
