First I must master the art of accurately gluing the parts together Phil, if this afternoon's fiasco was anything to go by, well all I can say is that I think it'll be sometime late Summer, perhaps. I'm waiting for some 6mm carbon tube to reinforce the rear fuselage, so that bit is definitely on hold. But being keen to see how it went together, I glued up the first two sections of the fuselage. I couldn't believe how easily it went together, just a hint of a glue line and the two parts perfectly aligned. So as not to make any silly mistakes, I watched the build video for the canopy, it showed the two parts being lined up using a piece of aluminium angle section. Feeling a bit competent, I applied the glue as per instructions, I aligned the canopy parts as per instructions. Applied a little pressure, and had a perfect bond. So far so good. When I tried to fit the canopy to the fuselage, the whole scene changed. The canopy wouldn't fit properly, trying to slide it into position was hopeless. There it sat with a gap of around 2mm all round the edge. I should explain that the canopy has a pretty neat method of holding it in place. It has two locating "pegs" at an angle and close to the joint between the fuselage parts. The "pegs" locate in two holes in the rim of the cockpit area, the canopy is slid down and back which should leave it fitting closely to the cockpit rim and neatly up against the wing root. The video looked so easy that I couldn't figure out why it hadn't worked.Looking at the joint with a magnifier, the reason became clear, the front part of the canopy has a tiny bit of the locating "pegs", and if these aren't perfectly aligned with the "pegs" on the rear canopy, the whole thing won't go far enough to seat properly. Fortunately I had some de-bonder, so I spent a jolly hour or so, slopping the stuff on and trying to get the joint apart. Eventually it let go, and after cleaning the parts, I assembled them on to the fuselage. The two parts fitted perfectly, no gaps anywhere. I tack glued the canopy halves, making sure that there wasn't a chance of the glue getting anywhere near the fuselage. Now the canopy could be taken of and re-fitted quite easily. I re-glued it and then set about getting the white bloom that had appeared after using the debonder. Unfortunately it wouldn't come off, I tried alcohol, no effect, acetone just made it worse. Tonight the printer will be retracing its steps as it prints another couple of canopy parts. Fortunately for me. all I have to do is push the "go" button.
