My receiver is the rather large FlySky unit and I had trouble mounting so that the canopy closed, I shaved out the rear bulk head down to the wing, lined it with doublesided tape. Now the transmitter forms part of the structure I removed and is flush enough to clear the canopy, I now have oodles of room so wire looms do not impede on the servos.
The original canopy clip was destroyed in the very first bunt, this has been replaced by a 20mm long bolt, 2 backing plates and a nut. The canopy now sits proud by 2mm and held in place by Mr Latex, provides easy access and extra cooling when I finally get going.

Odourless cyano is a bit better cosmetically than hot glue it enables you to bring the pieces together with better joint closure, use pins to hold it together as it dries.
Any missing bits can be cut around to square up the edges the holes infilled with white insulation foam and sanded carefully to profile, a bit of patience and it will be good as well... then cover it with the wide clear parcel tape in sections to follow the contours, it will look surprisingly acceptable.
