They do not install it on this plane because it gets in the way while building it and you will end up removing it." I saw no actuator to close or open my canopy at all.
There should be a large air cylinder to open the canopy- same style that is used for the gear doors, except longer. Mine was attached to the fuselage, but not to the canopy as you do have to remove the canopy to get any work done inside the plane
