Because it's all to easy to be misunderstood on forums, I want to be clear that it is absolutely my fault for using the wrong tool, a reciprocating saw, on the acrylic. The thought of using a jig saw with fine tooth plastic blade came from exploring the web. And clearly, the internet doesn't know everything!

Happily, this is a mistake that can be corrected by writing a check. I haven't miss-drilled holes in the fuselage, cut off a finger or anything serious. And I'm very happy with the cuts and fit on the second bubble.

The shipment from LP Aero was beautifully packaged with foam and lots of paper to support and protect the acrylic. However, and I just double checked, there wasn't a multi-page sheet of instructions.
