Default RE: canopy hold down screws

You are correct....you will need to remove your canopy to access aileron Rx connection etc.
Ok....on the inside of the fuselage....THIN CA nylon nuts to screw into......or, this is a method I use....radio box tape for boats (similar to scotch tape but does not leave a residue), paste pieces over the screw heads when the canopy is in place...it will stop the screw from vibration loose. I have the Seagull Laser 200 with the same method of holding down the canopy....flown 7 times.....and no sign of the screws backing out.
It is a pain to cut radio box tape every time you place the canopy on....If I had the problem, I would CA nylon nuts inside the fuse...the screw holds in tight.
Cheers.
