1. Slide the canopy forward till the rear wire is visible.

❏ 

2. Lift the rear of the canopy till the wire is clear of

the fuselage.

❏ 

3. Slide the canopy aft until the front wire comes free.

❏ 

4. To attach the canopy, reverse the previous steps.

❏ 

1. Locate the two hardwood and two aluminum wing

joiner plates.

❏ 

2. Using epoxy, glue the joiner plates together. The two

aluminum plates are glued between the two hardwood
plates. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

❏ 

3. Test fit the wing joiner into the slots in the wing halves.

Sand the joiners as required to get a good fit. Note: If the
root rib angles aren’t exactly the same, that’s OK. The
difference can be filled with a little epoxy when the wings are
joined. The proper dihedral angle and the gluing of the wing
joiner are more important than the fit of the two wing panels.

❏ 

4. Cover your workbench with wax paper or Great Planes

Plan Protector.
