Thanks guys, for the advice, I do understand what you are all saying, as I said before I have had NO trouble with my KR2 I'm flying now, and I made it the same way.
Todd's reply is below, thanks again Todd. Merry Xmas to you all. Phil. Phil Matheson SAAA Ch 37 http://www.philskr2.50megs.com/ Hi Phil M. The Longeze, Varieze and Cozy plans have you bond the canopy to the frame with epoxy and they also have the builders lay up plies of glass over the edges of the canopy. This way all the edges of the canopy are captured in a channel of fiberglass so at that point even if the flox bonding it to the frame was not there the canopy still wouldn't move out of the frame. Are you trying to bond the canopy to wood? 3M 5200 is a adhesive made to bond pleixglas to metal or fiberglass. May you want to buy a tube of it and test it with wood if that is what your frame is made of. One of the beauties of 3M 5200 is that when it cures it turns into a rubbery flexible material. It's not brittle so when your canopy frame and canopy flex, this will flex with it. I have bonded many canopies to frames with this product and these airplanes are now flying. 3M 5200 is available in a caulking tube or they have a squeeze tube about the size of a large tube of toothpaste. I'd get the fast cure. The fast cure still doesn't cure fast. It takes 24 hours. The regular 3M 5200 takes about 3 to 7 days to cure. Please let me know what happens. Thanks again for the business.
