Captain, that is the actual forecast for my area! No chance for a while to test fly![:@]

I did a small mod to the Sabre to make the nose cone stronger. I filled the gap between the nose and the cone with a bead of weather stripping spray foam and let it expand and fill the space. Then I trimmed it with a razor knife, sanded smooth and covered it with metal tape to provide a slick surface for the air to enter. The nose is now solid foam. This tape sticks great, presses down smooth and stays where you put it. I used it over the cheater hole where I trimmed it down.
