Make slots for the canopy hooks into the fiberglass
fuselage flange. Use a Dremel cut-off wheel to make the
initial opening. Fine tune with a Perma-Grit small flat file.
The scribed marks on the fuselage canopy hatch flange
are the starting locations. Lengthen the slots to set the
forward position of the canopy hatch.
Use 5-min epoxy to glue the 1/8" ply canopy hatch block
reinforcement to the engine hatch. Do not force this in
place; allow the epoxy to conform to the engine hatch's
natural shape. Do not glue the ¾" x ¾" maple block in
place at this time.

Assembly & Operation Manual
Install the (4) molded side canopy hooks into the canopy
hatch frame one at a time.
Enlarge the hole in the AFT end of the canopy hatch per
marking. This allows access to the nylon bolt and a
finger to properly engage the hatch to the fuselage.
Drill the hole through the canopy hatch into the 1/8" ply plate.
Drill and tap ¾" x ¾" maple block for the rear ¼-20 nylon hold down
bolt. Glue in place on the 1/8" ply plate using the nylon bolt for
proper alignment.
