I do like stickbuilder does and use the #2 buttom head screws they have a clean look.
I have had my pilot figures come loose when I thought they were well glued,I now use goop adhesive to get a good stick down.
Mike a tip a club member gave me was to use a small piece of CA hinge material at the screw holes to reenforce the canopy,another thing I do is use thin CA to strenthen the screw holes in the fuse,then there less likely to back out,I also don't over tighten the screws on the plastic for me snug is fine,and just enough screws to hold the canopy on usually 6-8 button head screws, is what I use
