CANOPY and TOP HATCH
Fit the hatch onto the fuselage. Drill holes, (to
match bolt size), through fuselage and hatch hold
down tabs.
Remove hatch and install blind nuts on back side
of tabs. Refit hatch and attach bolts.
Attach canopy. (no cutting required).
The canopy can be attached using glue such as
R/C 56 or simply by using screws. The latter
method will allow you to remove canopy at any
time to install a pilot or further dress up the
cockpit.
COWL
Test fit the cowl again to ensure that all ignition
parts and exhaust will not interfere with the cowl
Assuming that you do not have to carve up the
cowl for your engine installation, attach the
bottom cowl scoop using the small screws
provided. (I used additional silicon glue on the
interior joint to provide additional strength)
Locate the 4 mounting blocks on fuselage. I used
masking tape to mark a line about 2 inches back
onto the fuselage foe guidance.
With the Canopy section attached to plane,
mount the cowl, matching the striping on cowl
with fuselage.
When the cowl is in proper position, the spinner
should clear front of cowl by about ¼ inch.
