7. Place the canopy over the cockpit. You can either
glue it permanently to the fuselage or mount it with
screws. If you choose to glue it in place, Super Z RC56
works well. If you screw it in place, drill a 1/16" [1.6mm]
hole at the front and rear sides of the canopy on both
sides of the fuselage. Screw the canopy in place with
four #2 x 3/8" [10mm] screws. After installing the
screws, remove them and apply a couple of drops of
thin CA into the holes to harden them. After the glue
has cured, re-install the canopy.

8. Locate the black exhaust stack. Mark the location
for it onto the fuselage. Cut a small amount of the
covering away to create a solid place for gluing. Use
80-grit sandpaper and roughen the fl at side of the stack
that glues to the fuselage. Glue it to the fuselage.

9. There are two air scoops. One is taller than the
other. The taller of the two will be mounted to the left
side of the fuselage and the other will mount on the
bottom of the fuselage.
❏
10. Using the same procedure used for the exhaust
stack, glue the scoop to the left side of the fuselage.
❏
11. This scoop is only glued to the fuselage. The
portion that extends over the wing does not get glued
to the wing. Doing so will prevent you from removing
the wing from the fuselage. Using the same procedure
as the other scoop, glue the scoop to the bottom of
the fuselage.
