Default RE: Building a canopy frame

Mark....

....normally, the canopy is glued to the airframe, and then a strip of trim tape
is applied to the edge to blend it in, and provides additional adhesion.

The round shape of the canopy (like an egg) gives it the strength to survive
the wind-blast of flight. You can also add a few tiny screws to help hold it on.

FBD.
