Summary:

During an aerobatic training flight, a transparent panel over the rear area of the cockpit detached and fell away. The aircraft landed without further incident. The panel detached due to its leading edge dis-bonding from its support frame, allowing the airflow to get under this edge and cause the panel to fail.
