I'm slowly getting this bird closer to being flight ready. It's coming along so well that I can't bear to use screws to mount the canopy. Not to mention that it'll be a p.i.t.a. to get to the battery etc. if I did. The rear hatch doesn't need to be opened all the time so I'll screw it down with button heads and just paint the heads. There are dozens of generic methods to mount a canopy but I'd like to hear from someone that has found an easy on/off method SPECIFIC to THIS plane and is willing to share their tips/pictures. I've been saving this for last so I haven't put a lot of thought into it yet.

It looks like I won't have any performance worries. I'm using a Scorpion 3020-14 motor, Align 100 amp ESC, APC 8x8E prop, 6S1P 4000mah Li-Po. A quick run up yesterday scared the crap out of me! I did see in excess of 1000 watts on the Wattmeter and that was on the way down from a quick throttle blip! I'm installing an Eagle Tree V3 data logger with airspeed expander. I can't wait to see what kind of numbers I get.
