A day of fiddling about. Nose mount tapered ply piece done, ended up not needing to have it on the left side.
Glued on with hysol and nose retract unit mounted.
Lots of reinforcing with tri stock in some critical areas within the fuz.
Photos show the story.
This area was quite flimsy so got tri stock fore and aft epoxied on.
Tri stock n each side as shown
and here both sides L & R
The nose debacle sorted. Looks ugly but is now fit for purpose.
Next will trim timber to accept the steering servo.
