Yeah I was a fraid of that. With the color scheme, and everything going on in the world now, might be dang near impossible to get cost effectively--I just might have to open it up. Not terribly hard, just annoying. I'm most concerned about it opening back up though while flying fast. Any caveats you have about ensuring that doesnt happen?

Thanks!
