RE: Firebird Scout?
Inside the body of the plane, you should see where the rod goes through from side to side at the top. this is the same rod the rubberbands attach to at the front edge of the wing. the rubber band loops around that and then to the hook on the inside of the canopy. It is a tricky maneuver; some surgical clamps or loooooooong needle nose pliars helps.
hope this helps.
