1. Test fit the rear windows into position from the
inside of the fuselage. It may be necessary to use
scissors to trim the windows along the bottom if
it interferes with the cockpit floor. Once fit, apply
canopy glue around the perimeter of the window
where it contacts the fuselage. Use low-tack tape to
hold the window in position until the glue fully cures.
2. Repeat Step 1 to secure the side windows in
the fuselage.
3. (Optional) If you are installing the optional pilot,
use medium CA to assemble the pilot.
4. (Optional) Use scissors to shorten the height of
the pilot 3/8-inch (9mm).
5. (Optional) Use canopy to glue the pilot to the
cockpit floor. Form a small fillet between the pilot
and cockpit floor to secure the pilot. Allow the glue
to cure before proceeding.
6. Test fit the front windscreen into position. Once
fit, apply canopy glue around the perimeter of the
windscreen where it contacts the fuselage. Use low-
tack tape to hold the windscreen in position until the
glue fully cures.
Although it is suggested to allow the glue on the
windows to cure and remove the tape before
proceeding, you can install the wing panels and
struts if you are careful not to disturb the windows.
