1. Test fit the rear windows into position from the

inside of the fuselage. It may be necessary to use

scissors to trim the windows along the bottom if

it interferes with the cockpit floor. Once fit, apply

canopy glue around the perimeter of the window

where it contacts the fuselage. Use low-tack tape to

hold the window in position until the glue fully cures.

2. Repeat Step 1 to secure the side windows in

the fuselage.

3. (Optional) If you are installing the optional pilot,

use medium CA to assemble the pilot.

4. (Optional) Use scissors to shorten the height of

the pilot 3/8-inch (9mm).

5. (Optional) Use canopy to glue the pilot to the

cockpit floor. Form a small fillet between the pilot

and cockpit floor to secure the pilot. Allow the glue

to cure before proceeding.

6. Test fit the front windscreen into position. Once

fit, apply canopy glue around the perimeter of the

windscreen where it contacts the fuselage. Use low-

tack tape to hold the windscreen in position until the

glue fully cures.

Although it is suggested to allow the glue on the

windows to cure and remove the tape before

proceeding, you can install the wing panels and

struts if you are careful not to disturb the windows.
