Radio - Futaba FASST > best way to cut Tx case padding?

hey gang, need your help here.
i just bought a new Futaba radio and the aluminum case that came with has the foam padding cut to fit the Tx with a normal antenna. this version is setup with a 2.4Ghz antenna which will slant down, so length isn't the problem, but it does need additional room above the Tx to fit without having to dismount the module.
do any of you have some suggestion on cutting the foam so i don't end up with what looks like a chainsaw job?

thx for the help......the surgery went fine and i used a combination of the serrated knife and a sharp utility blade on the Futaba foam.
on another note i sure feel anal right now.......in my youth (physically) i would have done a scissor job.

I had to do the same thing. I used a hot knife with good success.

I picked up an electric carving knife from Wally World for $15 or so and it worked great.

I guess you guys are all to young to have a single edge razor blade laying around.

IF that didn't work I was going to suggest buying some of that pre-cut foam that comes with the Harbor Freight cases... pull to size stuff
