On my first plane with a canopy, a club member told me screws would not hold good enough,
Quote: (itll rip right off in flight)
since then then i have found they hold fine.
most mfg's say to glue with the covering removed for the glue line. but that would look terrible, unless you color the edge.
i used 8 servo screws to mount the canopy on my new cap 232, as i planned to add a pilot later on.
they have held fine, after 20+ flights. i think it looks good too

btw, so far i havent had any fuel get in under canopy, in fact it hasnt hit the canopy at all.
any pilot ideas? my wife suggested a batman figure. im thinking maybe a pilot bust with yellow shirt black buttons.
please post a pic or two of pilots in your planes with your canopy attachment ideas.
