I cried all the way down to the hobby store when I had to part with the cash but my tears turned to shear joy when I clipped off my first rail and got a perfect fit If you use a exacto knife and score the top of the rail you can slid the rail cutter down the rail and it will fall into the cut to get the cut just right. One other thing NEVER CUT anything else but RAIL with it if you want to keep having clean sharp cuts.—–AlanC.
