Cutting out the canopy works
best with a very sharp X-Acto
knife. The layup in this area is
very thin, so be careful not to
cut into the frames.
After cutting out the windows
roughly, use rounded file and
sand paper sticks to finish the
cutting borders.
After that cut out the clear
canopy. We still believe that
the best way to do it is to use
sharp scissors. To avoid
cracking of the canopy you
maywarm up a little.
After cutting the canopy
roughly put it into the canopy
frame from the inside. Now
you can determine the exact
cutting lines, to make a perfect
fit
Aso the rear wood support
plate and little detailing can be
glued in at this stage.
The canopy frame gets 2 piano
wire pins in the front edge
corners and gets secured with
an M3 screw at the back.
Therefor a blinde nut gets
glued into the center hatch with
a pice of scrap balsa or
plywood.
