Default RE: Canopy attachment question

Some additional comments-

Most all hobby shops carry either the RC-56 or Pacer Formula 560 which is the same stuff, so its not necessary to place a special order for it. The glue sticks to just about any kind of plastic like crazy and dries perfectly clear, so the trim tape is just cosmetic. Make sure that your pilot is well secured and drill a small hole into the fuse to allow moisture to escape before gluing the canopy on. Once the canopy is glued in place it will be just about impossible to remove without cutting the covering away!

Also be careful of getting raw fuel on the canopy- most of the clear plastics won't stand up to nitro and it only takes a few seconds for it to haze the plastic.
