Cut an access hatch in the turtledeck above the receiver compartment to
allow access to the receiver and rudder servo (if installed).

At this point, also glue in the 3mm Depron inlet splitters at the front of each
inlet (these are for aesthetics only).

I also recommend applying a single strip of 3M Satin tape around the wing
and tail leading edges at this time. The tape helps provide a very smooth
leading edge shape and also provides more durability against the
inevitable “hangar rash.”

25.

The canopy is removable to allow easy access to the battery compartment.
It is held in place with two bamboo skewers forward (toothpicks or carbon
rod could also be used) that slide into matching holes in the forward
bulkhead, and two small strips of Velcro aft that are mounted to short
pieces of ¼” balsa triangle stock.

Cut two 2” lengths of bamboo and sharpen both ends. Stick the bamboo
into the foam at the front of the canopy so that only ½” protrudes and glue
into place.

After the glue dries, push the canopy onto the airplane so that the
protruding ends poke holes into the forward bulkhead. Then glue the
Velcro mounts to the fuselage sides as shown on the plans and attach the
matching Velcro pieces to the mounts and to the canopy.

26.

Initial construction is now complete. If painting the model, see the
“Painting Information” section for more info.

After painting, proceed to the next step.
