AJC,

Actually that is not the original nose section. On the second flight last weekend when David was checking it out after I made some control changes, it took a bad bounce on landing. Went straight up in the air about 10 to 12 feet and then rotated nose first into the pavement. The nose section from the first former forward was completely destroyed. I had to rebuild the nose and also formed a new nose canopy from lite basswood. I glassed the nose canopy, sanded, and painted it with Krylon Fussion paint that is new for plastics. The can said it could be used on wood too. Anyway it was an almost perfect match to the insignia blue monokote. At some point in time I would like to order another main canopy from Mick so I can pull a clear one from it and construction a cockpit of some sorts. Until then, it will stay the same color. One thing nice about an all wood jet, easier to make repairs if needed.
