I got the new batch of 3600's also and ran in to the same problem. I did a little cutting and gluing to remedy the problem. I am at work this evening, been a long weekend of 12 hr night shifts. I will take a couple pictures when I get up tomorrow and post them.
Basically, I cut the front tab off flush with the canopy that holds it in place to the fuse. I then glued that tab into the slot that it normally sat in when the canopy is in place.
I also removed a portion of foam below the cockpit, this will leave an open space at the bottom front of cockpit floor that can be covered with tape, I left it open, not that noticeable.
I then used a piece of Sullivan pushrod and outer pushrod housing to make a pin to hold in place. It is working out very well for me. Care must be taken to align the pushrod and housing for a good fit. I put it all together and trial fit the assembly before gluing in place.
I drew a sketch here to give you an idea what I am talking about, as you can tell, I'm not to busy at work this evening... It may not be exact to scale as I am drawing from memory. I will post some pics tomorrow.
Hope this helps...
Tom
