I put 4 small thin strips of green masking tape from the nose block, over the shim, and onto the forward fuse to hold it all together, as the nose block is slip fit, and it and the shim keep falling out, on or just before, landing, because the rubber motor is actually 3 inches longer than the fuse nose at rest.

You could probably try glue stick glue to keep this together, that should still allow you to remove the nose when you need to.

Mlriley - thanks for the tip - I'll try that. There is a real satisfaction feeling when you finally trim out your first "built up fuse" rubber powered plane. Now that I am hooked, and have a winding stooge, I think that I will build the Sig cabin biplane 20" "Customaire" (that is sitting on the shelf), designed by the same guy, Paul McIlrath, for rubber power. How many years have you been building and flying rubber powered models Mlriley?

I flew planes back in the 70's (paper route money put to good use) but nothing that looked nice or flew well. Did have some really great crashes though. My last model was a Guillows FW190 in 1985 which was broken in a non-flying mis-hap. I then started building again in 2016.
