I took off my wing for storage. Now I can't remember which wing connector plugs in to which blue box receptacle. I should have labeled them front and rear. Neither the Blue Box nor manual indicate. Does it make any difference?

For those of you who have removed the canopy for cockpit enhancements I have a question. I am ready to re-install my canopy. When I removed it, it came off very clean and did not pull up any chunks of foam. The glue that was used I was able to easily pull away from inside the canopy. My question is, is the proper re-attachment to apply a thin coating of Foam-Tac around the cockpit edges and inside the canopy edges, let it tack, and press into place? The glue that the manufacturer used looks more like a clear rubber cement. If Foam-Tac is not the right glue to use can you share what the correct glue is to use? Thanks so much!!

I always use ZAP Canopy glue. Goes on white (looks like Elmer's Glue) but dries clear. This is the same stuff I think, that the manufacturer uses. Removal of the canopy is much easier with that. If you use the foam tack, it may be tough to ever remove the canopy again (not that you are likely to) but more importantly you will see the dried glue around the edges of the canopy as it oozes out when it dries and is very visible. It will look pretty crummy. With the Canopy glue, it virtually disappears when cured and leaves a very thin coating, so I suggest you get some. Tape the canopy down in a few places as it dries to keep all edges in contact with the fuselage.

Hugh, thanks so much I will get some. When I re-install the canopy, do I place the ZAP on the edges of the cockpit, on the inside of the canopy or both?Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

Hi EA6B. Nice scheme. What paints did you use and did you brush or spray? Cheers. Rodger C

Hi Guys...It's been a while! So I got a second Birdcage after losing my first a year ago to the dreaded Corsair stall. I had a bit of a struggle figuring out my landings on this one, but thanks to all of your advice, I started using more throttle and am back in the saddle. I love building 1/32 scale models and am currently working on a Tamiya Birdcage, but finally decided to go for painting my "big brother" (it's difficult to shift to such a bigger scale when used to the smaller one). Here are some shots of where I'm at so far, and realize it's a work in progress! I was happy with how the ribbing effect came out on the rudder.
On another note, the green LED on my starboard wingtip has burned out and MRC doesn't offer a replacement...can someone point me to where I can get a replacement light/bulb to solder on?Thanks! Rob
