Canopy Window Screws

[mikeschumann]

A couple of the screws holding the window assembly to my Phoenix canopy came off.  It turns out that all of the screws on my canopy were loose.  You should check your aircraft before you have the same problem.

For the record, the screws are M3 x 10mm stainless steel with button head flanges.  Each screw also has an M3 x .5mm nylon washer.  These screws and washers are available from accu-components.com/us.
