canopy mounting methods

[Amram Private]

Hello Jason
I never use any hardware to attach the canopy. I am using special canopy
gule (You can find it anywhere...)
After Gluging I am finishing the work with a special single side sticky
tape (Usualy black) arroung the canopy for more strength, flexibility
and seal.
Good luck.
Amram

Hi Jay,
The neatest thing I have seen in many moons is what George Asteris does.
It's a quick release, with pins at the front, and a single sliding hatch
pin at the top of the back. The sliding hatch pin is made of music wire
and brass tube, but attaches to a foot-long or so piece of flexible
throttle cable and plastic tube that loops down and forward and ends in
a pull tab that is under the wing or on the bottom of the plane. I have
no pictures, but you could probably do the same thing with one or two
Violett quick-release hatch pins, and kevlar cord running back to a pull
tab on the bottom of the tailcone. That would be E-light!

Hi all,

Before I start my new Impact, I was wondering what kind of canopy
mounting methods were being used out there? Pics are worth a thousand
words, if you've got them, or have a site with them on there.

Mine is a 10/32 nylon screw in the front and a 1/2" carbon pin at the
rear.

Thanks,
Jason
