Glue the 1/8” ply rear canopy former in place. This
maintains the shape of the canopy hatch.
Sand paper lap the edges of this hatch for a perfect fit.
FUSELAGE SPREADER
Over time unsupported lightweight fiberglass structures can change shape. Some Bandit ARFs need
to have the fuselage flanges pulled together under the canopy hatch. Install this fuselage support to
maintain the proper width and fit in the canopy hatch area.
Use masking tape to pull the fuselage together to match the
canopy hatch outline.
Remove the hatch and line up the wood support in a
location that does not interfere with normal
maintenance procedures.
Drill the fiberglass flange and wood support stick with a
1/16” drill. Install the wood support using #2 x 3/8” button
head screws.
