2) Set the canopy onto the fuselage. The front
of the canopy has a molded recess in it. Slide this
recess under the back edge of the cowl.
q
3) Using a pen, mark the back of the canopy
where it comes in contact with the two front wing
hold down dowels.
q
4) Remove the canopy. Using a modeling knife,
remove the portion of the canopy that you marked.
Reinstall the canopy as before. The back of the canopy
should fit flush against the top of the forward bulk-
head. See photo # 35 below.

5) While holding the canopy firmly in place,
make marks where the sides of the canopy meet the
recessed groove in each side of the fuselage.
q
6) Remove the canopy. Use a modeling knife
and a straight edge ruler to carefully cut off the canopy
at the marks made.
q
7) Install the wing onto the fuselage and set
the canopy back in place. Using a pen, mark where
the canopy needs to be cut to clear the front radius
of the wing.
q
8) Using a modeling knife, cut the canopy at
the mark made. Set the canopy back in place to
check your work. Make any other small adjust-
ments necessary until you are satisfied with the fit.
See photo # 36 below.

9) When satisfied with the fit, remove the
canopy. Using 220 grit sandpaper, carefully sand the
edges of the canopy smooth.
INSTALLING THE CANOPY
q
10) Set the canopy back in place and hold it se-
curely to the fuselage using pieces of masking tape.
q
11) Using a pen, mark the locations of the four
mounting holes. Two holes are located on each side
of the canopy. Place two marks 1/8” up from the bot-
tom edge of the canopy. One of the marks should be
1/2” behind the back edge of the cowl and the second
mark should be 4” behind the back edge of the cowl.
q
12) Using a 1/6” drill bit, drill four holes into
the canopy and through the fuselage sides at the four
marks made.
q
13) Remove the masking tape and secure the
canopy in place using four 2mm x 12mm wood
screws. See photo # 37 below.
