The canopy hatch is supplied with the floor pre-installed. The rear of the hatch is left open so you can
easily install a pilot head and cockpit control panel. When you have completed any work inside the
cockpit, use a small amount of CA glue to install the balsa rear plate onto the canopy hatch. The
canopy hatch is held onto the fuselage with 3mm nylon thumbscrews. These thumbscrews require no
tools to install or remove. Please inspect these screws frequently for wear and fatigue.
