The pilot took off to commence a low-level aerobatic display. Shortly after takeoff, at a very low height, he rolled the aircraft inverted. He applied forward elevator control to avoid a descent, and at that point, a blanking nut separated from the canopy and the pilot tried reaching for it. Whilst doing so, he allowed the aircraft to descend inverted onto the runway.
