Alrighty folks, a little bit of an update.  First, I have to say thank you to everybody who gave me advise on how to fix those gaps.  I have to give a big shout out to TRM as he suggested that I use PVA (a.k.a white glue).  Well, I'm NEVER going to worry about gaps around canopies, wing roots, grab handles, nothing! 

Here's where I'm at with the canopy and the wing roots.

After I glued the canopy down I mixed up a 50/50 mixture of PVA and water, not too think not too thin.  Then I took a nice fine tip brush and dabbled the mixture in the gaps.  The nice thing is that capillary action sucked the glue into the gaps, that and it is self leveling so I didn't have to sand anything down.  Some of the larger gaps required multiple applications but it is SO EASY and you can clearly see it works very well.  I also applied this method to the wing roots and the small gaps around the handles etc that I started gluing in place.  I'm a happy camper to say the least!
