I'm a little confused (nothing new there! ). Where are we supposed to drill the holes for the mounting points for the canopy??? :dontknow

Well, specifically, there are spots already there (I can't remember if only the rear spots are marked, or all 4 spots. Anyway, are we supposed to ignore those spots?
I can't remember if I read to ignore those or not.............

I would use the existing rear mounting holes and then line up the front and see if the front holes marked in the canopy are close before drilling them out.

I drilled the spots that were marked and they worked.

Yes, your en-dented spots already on the canopy should line up. Rusty

Yep - yep - and yep!
I drilled at the 4 marks, and it lined up beautiful! Only issue was those damn black donuts were stiff and hard to slip into the holes.
The canopy looks nice on this bird. I only wish the windshield was smaller, so I have more surface for my bright orange paint.
I'm using a LogicTech 6100 Gyro/Servo combo with this bird. Played with it last night to set up the tail. Holy shi!! that combo is insanely fast and responsive! Woo Hoooo, can't wait to see what kind of tail control it has over my tried-and-true 401!!
