the ICA005811 canopy hinge weldment to the canopy frame. Coat the bolts with Tef-Gel

7. Press inward on the canopy frame to align it. If moved too far, have the helper press outward on
the canopy frame as needed. Working in this fashion, align the canopy flush with the surrounding
fuselage surfaces.
