Note:
Several optional canopy decal sets are available as shown in Fig. 6-9. You may wish
to consider a different decal set for your second canopy.

q
Apply stripe decals as you did the window decals. Follow the color scheme shown in Fig.
6-7 or design your own decal arrangement.
21.
q
Install a rubber grommet in the holes on each side of the canopy. The grommets will be
used later to mount the canopy to the crutch.
22.
q
Sand the turbine exhaust pockets on the canopy and the bottom of the plastic turbine
exhausts with coarse (120 grit) sandpaper to prepare the surfaces for gluing. Apply a
layer of thick CA glue to the inside of the canopy pockets and place the turbine exhausts
in the pockets shown in Fig. 6-7.
23.
q
When the glue has set, drill a 1/4" (6mm) hole in the
RIGHT SIDE
turbine exhaust with a
drill bit or the tip of a hobby knife. The fuel tank filler tube will eventually extend through
this hole to make fueling easier.
