Trim the fiberglass as shown, these openings allow visual
reference to the fuel system when the canopy hatch is
removed and to serve to lighten the part.
Scuff the area marked on the engine hatch and use SLO-
ZAP to attach the 1/8” ply engine hatch mounting tab.
Use 5-min epoxy to glue the 1/8” ply engine hatch
reinforcement. Do not force this in place; allow the epoxy
to conform to the fuselage’s natural shape.
A ¾” x ¾” maple block is added to the 1/8” ply to capture
the nylon bolt.
A ¼-20 x 5/8” nylon bolt secures the forward end of the
engine access hatch.
Tape the hatch in place, drill and tap the hole. Start with a
small drill; then use a 3/16” bit. Tap the block ¼-20.
CANOPY HATCH
The same techniques used for the engine hatch can be applied to fitting the canopy hatch. Again
install one “Canopy hook” at a time and adjust it and the slot in the fuselage flange for the best fore/aft
and side-to-side fit possible before proceeding to the next hook.
Trim the (4) hooks as shown make (2) left and (2) rights. Install one
untrimmed hook in the front. As before, maintain side-to-side alignment.
