Step 87 Windshield
Leave the protective plastic sheet on the wind-
shield while the rough cut is made, leaving 3mm
[1/8”] of extra material beyond the molded line in
the windshield. Use a black marker if necessary to
trace the line to see it clearly while cutting. Con-
tinue trimming and cutting the windshield until it
will fit into the matching recess in the canopy.

Step 88 Drilling the windshield Holes
Tape the windshield in place and mark 8-9 posi-
tions around the windshield’s edge and centered
in the recess of the canopy. Carefully drill all the
holes using a 2.3mm [0.090”] drill bit. Remove the
windshield and redrill the holes to 3mm [0.125”]
in the windshield and set aside.

Grommet x 4
After the gromments have been installed, it is recommended to
reinforce and bond them in place from the inside of the canopy.
Using Goop adhesive or Epoxy, lift the inside edge and insert
the adhesive between the grommet and the canopy to form a
fillet around the outside edge.
Step 89 Canopy Decals
Using scissors cut out the main cabin decals from
the decal sheet. These can be trimmed along the
colored edge of the decal. Clean the canopy with
rubbing alcohol to remove any grease and position
the decals as shown. Each decal has the position
listed on the sheet for easy reference.
When cutting out the tail fin decals, leave 3mm
[1/8”] of extra decal material on all edges.
It is better to plan the position of the lower decal to
overlap the gromment hole. After the decals have
been applied, insert the four rubber gromments.
