RE: What do you glue your canopy's in with?
Jason, Here's an image of a Meister Scale P-51 canopy I used on a sport model of mine. The attachment area was scuffed up with 100 grit sand paper on the inside an out. Zpoxy Finishing Resin was used to bond the canopy in place and it was held on with masking tape. A 1/2 inch strip of fiberglass tape was epoxied half on the canopy and half on the fuselage. A mixture of the resin and micro balloons smoothes out the installation. The canopy stayed in place during one devastating crash after a midair with a large bird, the bird flew off, the model did not, and was used again on the replacement fuselage. Dan.
