RE: Cutting fairings!!
I think what ever you use ...avoid to much heat mate as the plastic will burn and go all weird on you ..making it look a touch ordinary and causing you to have to sand it back heaps..
Depending on how much you are going to remove or cut... I have done early fairings by hand with a very small copping saw blade with good success ...no burs or buring at all..
and it leaves a nice edge to sand back...
I think you only need to take your time , mark out well ...and you will be fine ...

RE: Cutting fairings!!
I use a stencil on the plastic. I cover the area with blue painters tape, draw the circle where I want the hole to be, drill a small hole dead center with a dremel and then use the dremel cutting tool (round) and work my way around. I then sand the edges with the dremel sander.
