Install the hatch on the fuselage using two 4/40 bolts with the self-sealing washers.
Trial fit the canopy to the fuselage access hatch to determine screw locations.
Mark four evenly spaced locations for the screws on each side. Double check to ensure all the marked
screw locations will go into the hatch rail.
Remove canopy from the access hatch and drill the marked locations for the canopy screws.
Install the canopy using the small wood screws. If satisfied with
the fit, remove the canopy and hatch and wick a small amount of
thin CA into each of the screws holes on the hatch. Once dried,
reinstall canopy with optional canopy glue if desired.
Caution!
CA will fog the canopy if installed before completely drying.
