If you only fly off asphalt or grass, your canopy installation is done. Treat yourself to a cold one for the rest of the evening.
I practice on an asphalt runway, but we have contests on dirt runways sometimes. And if this plane ever flies at the Shootout, thereWILL BEblowing dust.I had arecommendation to use canopy glue on the exterior edge to keep any dirt from getting down between the canopy and the hatch.
I had no worries about mounting the canopy because I knew nothing would be glued until it fit perfectly. I wasn't worried about this canopy glue application because it cleans up with water.
I tried it straight out of the bottle. It was a total mess. No big deal. It all cleaned up with water.
I tried using a smaller tip that was included with the ZAP Goo bottle. Not as big a mess, but still not the clean look I was after. The mess cleaned up with water.
