I removed the outside blue wray from the clear plastic nose piece and painted it with Top Flite white primer. I then glued it on to the 4 corners of the frame with plastic cement and used medium CA later. I glued the formers up to the edge of the piece and filled the spaces between the formers with 1/16" sticks. After light sanding I added some filler to make it all smooth and when that was dry and sanded I used just a spot or two of MIcro-Fill to finish. It needs just a light sanding and a couple of coats of dope to be ready to cover and at this point it weighs 1.8 oz or 53 grams. Although not to be used, I've put in the rails for the servos for strength and reference.

A thing of beauty. You sure you don't want me to send you some servos and other fixin's?

Thanks but no thanks. I guess I should have said "stringers" instead of formers relative to the nose piece.
