I no longer have mine as it met its demise due to poor balance, (stalled the tail) anyway when you are removing the cover from the glue areas do not use a knife, instead use a solder iron and melt the cover off, this way if something does happen the manufacture can't put the blame on you. For those of you that do not know this trick its simple. Make your mark as you would normally, measure 1/16" inside the line and make your cut by moving the tip slowly down the cover, no scaring in the wood this way.
