The cockpit of my Pulse 125 is a convenient access point for the servo leads in the inverted tray just beneath it...



... so I would like to retain access if possible.

However, the canopy provided with this plane is the glue-on type. I've set the canopy on the airframe before and it flares outward at the bottom edge - that would have to be corrected (somehow).

I've thought of...

• trying to reform the canopy edges inward with a heat gun, but the compound curves may make that difficult to do by hand.
• attaching the canopy along the bottom with servo mounting screws, but I'm worried that the flared bottom edge would cause a scalloped effect.
• painting the inside of the bottom edge of the canopy with magnetic paint and embedding small rare-earth magnets along the rim of the cockpit but I'm not sure it would be secure at speed - and there might still be a scalloped effect.

Do you have another suggestion - I'd love to hear it!
