Install the (4) molded side canopy hooks into the canopy
hatch frame one at a time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
