Now let start on the Canopy.
#1 Install the supplied hooks a little
beyond the middle of the canopy facing
forward, using a thixotropic epoxy mix.
#2 After this is hardened, measure and
cut receptacle holes for the hooks in the
fuse side canopy flashing. Fit the
canopy, adjust, and glue the phenolic U
receptacle in place as a catch and
alignment socket. They will need to be
trimmed to fit close to the fuse sides.
#3 Use a canopy latch like the BVM™
latch and glue it to the inside of the
canopy with some thixotropic epoxy.
Also, glue a piece of aircraft ply behind
the canopy arch former as a hard point
for the latch pin. While it is hardening,
let's work on the front.
#4 Cut out a couple of light ply rails and
glue them to the underside of the
canopy flashing on the front of the fuse,
and on top of the canopy flashing on the
canopy, using 15 minute epoxy. Wait for
it to harden. This will help with fuse
noise and rigidity.
