219 - 1/4" Think piece of balsa added to rear.

220 - I used a Bob Violett canopy mount, but you could also make them from 3/32" ply using the shape below as a reference.


221 - Canopy plate slotted.  Fuselage slotted with a Dremel cutting wheel.

 

222 - Canopy mount installed.

 
 
 

223 - Measurement showing location of the slots.

224 - Canopy mounted and held in place, then drill used to bore through the canopy and fuselage.

 

 
 
 

225 - Installing an alignment pin from 1/8" dowel.

 

226 - Pin installed.

 

 
 
 

227 - A piece of 1/4" x 1/2" balsa cut and fit to opening below, lightly wedged in place.  CA applied to the top only.

 

228 - Canopy set in place, lifting the rear, pushing all the way back, then dropping the rear on the balsa piece from the previous step.

 

 
 
 

229 -  Dropping rear forced the piece to glue on canopy for a perfect fit.  This piece of balsa will insure the canopy will not twist under stress of flight.

 

220 - Cockpit painted.

 

 
 
 

221 - Canopy Glue used to mount the canopy to the cockpit.  Tape is used to hold it in place until it dries.

222 - Cockpit plate installed on canopy.

 

 
 
 

223 - Canopy installation completed.  It's a simple way to mount it and the canopy should not come off during flight as it needs to move forward and up to be removed.
