She's ready for decals!
I need to secure the canopy, any suggestions? The manual says to use 1/4 inch trim tape but I don't have any. Can I use Titebond, CA, or epoxy? I don't intend on taking it off, and it is painted on the inside so I don't care about the cloud that CA causes. I just want to know if one of these will work to keep it on.

Control throws are spot on.

The manual says to balance on the main spar. By my measurement it turned out very nose heavy (3.25 inches from the LE). I will need weight on the tail. Any suggestions on where to add tail weight? I was thinking of screwing something on to the bottom aft of the fuselage, under the elevator pushrod. Opinions?

The last picture is of my granddaughter Abby. I will take this picture and make a decal out of it and place it on the vertical stabilizer. In the picture she's chalking my pool stick so the writing on the tail will say "Hot Shot".
