to carefully cut and remove a strip of covering 1/16" wide,

approximately 1/32" inside of the line you made Wipe away
the line with a paper towel dampened with alcohol.

D 5 Reposition the canopy on the fuse and confirm that it
covers the exposed wood Glue the canopy to the fuse with
a glue formulated for gluing on canopies such as Pacer
"Formula 560" canopy glue Hold the canopy in place with

them apart as necessary so the servo arms do not interfere

forward or aft If the plane is tail heavy, install the servo
tray with the servos forward ^ If the plane is nose heavy,
install the servo tray with the servos aft.

tray is installed as far forward as possible, even with the
servos at the aft end.
