❏
1. Slide the canopy forward till the rear wire is visible.
❏
2. Lift the rear of the canopy till the wire is clear of
the fuselage.
❏
3. Slide the canopy aft until the front wire comes free.
❏
4. To attach the canopy, reverse the previous steps.
❏
1. Locate the two hardwood and two aluminum wing
joiner plates.
❏
2. Using epoxy, glue the joiner plates together. The two
aluminum plates are glued between the two hardwood
plates. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
❏
3. Test fit the wing joiner into the slots in the wing halves.
Sand the joiners as required to get a good fit. Note: If the
root rib angles aren’t exactly the same, that’s OK. The
difference can be filled with a little epoxy when the wings are
joined. The proper dihedral angle and the gluing of the wing
joiner are more important than the fit of the two wing panels.

4. Cover your workbench with wax paper or Great Planes
Plan Protector.
