Using Epoxy, bond one wooden block from the inside of the
canopy, centered over each hole for the windshield screws.
Each block should be flush or slightly below the edge of the
canopy. Let the Epoxy completely cure. Using the 2.3mm
[0.090”] drill bit, redrill the holes through the wooden blocks.
Using an available M3x6 self tapping screw, form the threads
in all the wooden block.
Mount the windshield to the canopy using the M3x6 self
tapping screws being careful not to overtighten the screws.
The wooden blocks will hold the screws quite well. After the
canopy is finished, the wooden blocks can then be painted
white to match the canopy.

Blocks mounted flush to
the canopy edge.
When attaching the canopy to the helicopter, install the
two M3x10 Phillips washer head screws to the upper
canopy standoffs. This will keep the canopy in position
during fast backwards flight.

Cut out the tail fin decals from the sheet leav
-
ing 3mm [1/8”] of material along each edge.
Clean both tail fins using rubbing alcohol
and apply the decals. The decal sheet has the
appropriate positions listed for each piece
and can be copied in pencil to the backside
of each decal section.
Step 93 Tail Fin Decals
It is easier to apply the decals when the fins are
removed from the helicopter. Take each section and
align over the intended fin and continue trimming
the edge of the decal to get a good fit.
