Get your self some PACER Formula 56C Canopy Glue. It's available at most hobby shops. Also at Tower Hobby web site. Just do a seach for Pacer Canopy glue. $3.49 for a 2 oz bottle. It holds well and lasts a long time. It will adhere to the GP monocoat as long as it is claen. For position on the plane, use your own judgement as to where a windshield should go.

RE: GP Slowpoke windshield
I have got the best fix for ya!! I have a slow poke and this is what I did. Get some black neoprene small diameter tubing. Cut it to length to wrap around the bottom of windshield. Cut the tubing open. Use small screws to screw it down on the fuse in the shape of the lower part of the windshield. Put canopy glue in the tubing. Insert the windshield into the slot where glue was inserted. Holds great and looks very scale. (if there such a thing for a slow poke) Happy Flying
