Default RE: FlyingStyroKit P-40N

After installing the two pieces of balsa to the insides of the fuse on either side of plane(as per instructions, they really leave these planes lean on any wood, but I will add abit I think where needed.)I was ready to complete the cockpit area.
Now as per instructions you just use pins or toothpicks to hold this on, but I did'nt like the idea so I created a small box of balsa on the bottom of the removable cockpit area. This will slip in between the two side reinforcing pieces to hold it in place. Then I used some small magnets on the rear and frount for some bite. A couple of opposing pieces of balsa frount and back in the fuse, and the canopy hatch is secure, and done. At the same time this also firmed up the area some...it is foam....
