Section 5: Window Installation

Required Parts
• Side window (L&R)
• Support (2)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Hobby scissors
• Hobby knife

Step 1
Use hobby scissors and a hobby knife to trim the side
windows from their sheets. Leave a 1/8" lip to glue the
windows to the fuselage.

Step 2
Test fit the windows from the inside of the fuselage. Trim
them as necessary so they fit flush to the outside of
the fuselage. Use canopy glue (PAAPT56) to secure the
windows into the fuselage. Install the window into the
fuselage hatch at this time as well.
Note: You can use epoxy as well, but be
very careful not to get epoxy on the nice clear
windows.

CA to glue them into position.

Step 4
Test fit the front windscreen into position. Trim as
necessary. Use canopy glue to secure the front
windscreen to the fuselage.
