Default Landing Gear Cover

Hey Guys,
For those of you that haven't finished your planes and I guess for those of you that have, the method stated in the instruction manual for attaching the landing gear cover doesn't work. They say to counter sink the screw heads and CA the cover in place. I was skeptical about doing this but did it as the instructions says. I've got about 35 flights on my 300 and just noticed it wasn't there anymore. Great Planes was good enough to say they would send another one, but I would think about mounting the cover with screws. Also, be very careful of the canopy mounting screws. They just go into the mounting tab about a 1/16 of an inch. There's got to be a better and more secure way to mount the canopy with easy access.

Just a few comments coming from experience.
