Removing canopy from an Escapade ARF
I got a Great Planes Escapade ARF and i am having trouble removing the canopy, i think the factory glued it on during shipment. Can anyone who has had this plane tell me what you did because if i keep forcing it i'm afraid i will break it.

This is my first ARF and i am so new to this, i thought you needed to remove the canopy to place in receiver and fuel tank and other electronics.

You have to move it forward to release the hooks in the back. Look from the bottom toward the back of the canopy and at either side. You should see two small slots with white hooks coming thru, make sure these hooks are forward enough to pass thru the slots. If they are then glue is holding it somewhere. Good luck.
