how to connect windshield

[Fievel]

for the E325 i have noticed that some of you guys arent using the supplied screws to attach the windshield to the canopy. what method are you using? I assume you are gluing it, but what kind of glue?

I've used double sided tape.... found some around the house, think it was for mounting posters to walls or something.... it's sort of like scotch tape, very thin, and a bit stronger, and double sided. Just added a bunch of strips on the untrimmed canopy and pressed the windshield on. It seems to be holding ok, I check before every flight, and so far no problems.

Thanks. I'd prefer gluing if I knew what to use! I was a bit scared of it coming off in flight, but seems to be pretty secure so far after about a month.... still though, I check before every flight :)
