Step 4
On the bottom of the canopy there are two small indentations. Drill two 3mm (1/8 inch)
hole at these marks. Locate the Inside Canopy Mount [HI3129]. Note that this mount is
designed to fit one direction, the wider end should face towards the helicopter. Attach the
mount to the inside of the cabin utilizing two 3x10 self tapping washer head screws.
Step 5
The cabin has the four holes predrilled for the
rubber mounting grommets. Install one grommet at
a time and bond in place using “goop” on the inside
of the cabin overlapping the outside edge of the
grommet.

Step 6
Insert a spring loaded hinge pin into both the upper and lower hinge locations on one
of the doors. Center the hinge pin within the door frame with the door closed. Make
two marks on the outside of the cabin at each hinge with a pencil. Straighten out a
paper clip bend the last 1/4” with pliers 90 degrees. Heat the bent end of the paper
clip while holding with pliers and insert along the marks previously made. Insert into
the solid section of the cabin hinge (the bent section) the hot metal will melt perfect
size holes into the hinge pins. Before installing the door, add a small amount of
“goop” to the paper clip and push into the hole, install the door into the cabin by
compressing the hinge pins while sliding the door into new holes, allowing the spring
loaded pins to “pop” into the holes you have made. Repeat this process for the other
door.
Step 7
Attach the main rotor guard to the top of the cabin with
“goop” adhesive. Use two pieces of tape to hold in
position while the adhesive dries. Allow to thoroughly
set before proceeding.
