@ Erik - I almost invariably adjust the parts to the plastic canopy step by step. Gluing a complete part in just a single step would be too risky. I apply glue on dots or, mainly, edges/frames and not all of them. The middle frames may not need glue. All-purpose glue works acceptably.

The wing leading edge bulges to accommodate the landing gear. The double curvature is approximated by a sequence of narrow parts with awkward shapes. As you can see in the third picture, I put those parts together before applying them.
