....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.
Thanks for the input Dave...
The only removable component of the cockpit is the floor, not the entire top deck like on most larger scale planes... Thus my quandry... If the entire top deck was removable from the turtle deck to the firewall, I wouldn't have a problem...
Yes, I can attach the canopy to the sides of the floor piece, but then it's not supported in the front or the back where the canopy meets the turtle deck and cowling...
I'll take a couple shots and post them for reference...
