Jnorton,

I believe it was suggested using pan head screws to hold the canopy to the cockpit and not the cockpit to the wing. I usually use pinstripe to attach my canopy but on the Shostring the fit wasn't as good as it could be causing the tape to pull up along the sides from heat and stress. If I had known this I would have put some hardwood blocks on the inside of the cockpit piece and added screws to help hold the canopy in place, However, now that the cockpit is glued to the wing I can't get to the inside of the cockpit anymore along the entire edge of the canopy. I suppose if you use the glue method, something I don't as I always make a big mess, this wouldn't be useful.
