Gather the following for canopy and hatch
installation:
Canopy
Fuselage and Access Hatch
8 to 16 #2 wood screws
Two 6/32 bolts with two sealing washers
Not Provided:
Drill and small drill bit for wood screws
8 to 16 #2 wood screws
Canopy glue (optional)
Thin CA
Ruler
Install the hatch on the fuselage using four 6/32 bolts with the self-
sealing washers.
Trial fit the canopy to the fuselage access hatch to determine screw
locations.
Mark eight 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.
The Edge 540T requires more screws due to it’s size. We do
recommend gluing it down. Use matching electrical tape and place
on the front lip to keep air from going under the canopy.
