You are right.

Practically, most aviation accidents are due to human errors, very few accidents are due to technical reasons.

Good luck, Erik.

Another beautiful build overall. Love the cockpit and details.

The plug for canopy is ready.

The canopy.

Really turned out very well! Success with finishing off. Glueing to the small rim of the fuselage must be the hardest part. That's the "hold point" for my Orlik Mosquito at the moment and I hope to find the time for it somewhere next week....

You are right Erik, it is not easy. Super Glue only. I'm waiting on your Mosquito.
Canopy is glued.

Frames of canopy.

Spars of wing.

Nice work on the canopy framing

How do you stop super glue fogging the canopy?

I'll keep you updated on my canopy attempt, but it's really the part I'm afraid of, it's THE moment to screw up the model. Superglue? That's brave. I'll be using regular clear glue, we call it "velpon" or "bison". Still gives the opportunity to correct and to remove stains (but you have to be quick). Your glider gets more elegant by the day! Beautiful work on the canopy and its frames, really an eye catcher.
