64C. When dry, sand the tube to match the
contour of the nose.
64D. Clean the Vaseline off the nose probe
tube and install the nose probe. If the fit is
too loose, gently squeeze the tube a little bit.
It should be a mild friction fit.
65 Arrange the cockpit components as
shown and trim to fit. You will need to square
off some corners and such, a sanding bar
makes quick work of it.
66 Using the canopy as your guide, glue the
three cockpit components together.
67 Trim the edges of the cockpit just enough
so that the cockpit tub will fit inside the
cockpit opening in the fuselage. You want to
leave at least a 1/8" lip, but be able to put the
cockpit tub INSIDE the fuselage.
68 Paint and detail the cockpit tub as you like,
then epoxy or silicone the cockpit to the
bottom of the canopy frame. Check to make
sure it is centered properly and will fit inside
the fuselage opening.
