Default RE: NEW ROOKIE - PARROT SCHEME PHOTOS

John,

I have not yet started the canopy mounting yet. There appears to be a small zip lock bag with parts that appear to be used for the canopy mounting I'm guessing. There is no reference to it in the manual. It includes a single spring loaded latch, which I'll probably use on the back end of the canopy.

I finished up the engine hatch this weekend and applying the thin play around the openings. I'll see what I can do with these parts this week. If you manage to get it done by the end of this week please post some pics, I'll do the same. After this week I'll be out of town and wont get a chance to work on the jet for a week.

Did you notice that the rudders bind? The outer painted surface at the hinge catches the lip as the rudder tucks inside. I'll have to bend the hinge line out a little or sand it back some.
