Skywalker 1900 Canopy Replacement

Check out v2: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1191246. This is the canopy for my Skywalker 1900 airplane, and I'm excited to share it with you. The model comes with two base options: one features a GoPro mount designed by Redsalamanders, while the other has a regular base plate. I used files provided by JointSkill (big thanks!), modified them to create individual pieces, then printed out the canopy in PLA. Initially, I experienced some difficulties due to tight tolerances between parts. However, after careful file work and subsequent adjustments, the connecting edges fit together perfectly with minimal filing required. To reinforce this design even further, I decided to use Weld-On 4 for assembly purposes. During testing phase I also encountered slight issues at rear fuselage area – a simple modification in form of thin slot proved very useful securing piece into place tightly without any unnecessary pressure put onto it during flying sessions. Additionally you might notice there’s M3 screw on the front which securely attaches itself nose of aircraft itself! At current point all working good as should, now just looking forward seeing improvements implemented - if so don't hesitate reach out anytime
