/* ---------- "Attaching canopy to fuselage" ---------- */
I am just finishing a Super Sportster 40.  The last thing that I need to do
is glue the canopy to the fuselage.  The instructions mention using CA glue
but I was wondering if epoxy or some other glue might be better.  Also, 
should I glue the canopy to the monocote or should I cut the monocote where
the canopy touches the fuselage?  I would appreciate any advice or personal
experiences.
Thanks,
Michael

   I would highly recommend using RC-56 glue. It works great, but tends to be a 
   little slow for drying time (circa overnight to 24 hrs). RC56 is very similar
   to silicon RTV adhesive, but is thinner. It starts out looking like white glue
   but dries to a clear texture.

    CA has a tendency to not work at all with clear plastic canopies. You will
       definitely need a CA accellerator to kick it off, plus you need four
       hands to hold and glue everything.

    Silicon Adhesives (RTV), I've had mixed success with it, it seems to work
       OK, but doesn't adhere to the canopy well in some places, this the
       canopy tends to come loose (or off) after a while. Plus the RTV looks
       lumpy and ugly on some models.

    RC56, amazingly enough, seems to work the best.
