Great Planes ESP6 Easy Sport 60 - GPMA0152 - Manual (Page 49)

2 Assemble and paint your pilot figure, and attach it to
the cockpit floor See tip below
1 Using scissors, carefully cut the canopy along the
trim line The trim line is the more prominent line around
the base of the canopy
2 Lightly sand the bottom side of the mounting flange
with fine (220-grit) sandpaper
3 Poke pinholes (1/8" apart) through the covering
material in the area where the canopy will be glued to
the fuselage
4 We used Pacer Formula 560 to glue the canopy in
place This glue is easy to use dries clear, cleans up
with water, does not fog butyrate (the canopy material)
and produces an extremely strong bond Just apply it to
the mounting flange on the canopy and secure in place
with tape until the glue dries completely We must warn
you against using CA type glues for this task More often
than not, CA (especially thin CA) will fog the canopy
material, spoiling the look of your completed model
5 We masked all of the sections of the canopy we
wanted to remain clear and then sprayed the exposed
framework with K&B Epoxy Paint Rather than painting,
you may apply Great Planes Kwik Stripe Model Striping
Tape directly over the canopy framework The choice
is yours
Apply 1/16" x 1/4" wide foam wing seating tape
(GPMQ4422) to the wing saddle area to seal the
wing/fuse joints
