Canopy completed and also made a canopy stiffer brace. I chose to screw the canopy to the plane as the contour of the fuse where the canopy meets it are not really to scale, and I wanted to be able to remove this from time-to-time. I reinforced the mount holes with 2-56 plastic washers, and the holes in the fuse are tapped to 2-56 and reinforced with CA glue, then retapped again. Using 2-56 plastic screws to hold it all together.
