Default RE: Cloud Bound 4

Hi,

I will consider reinforcing the wrist area but I think is strong enough.

Cloud Bound 4 update,

I have joined the forward fuselage section, glued front nose blocks, and roughly sanded the nose. The block in front of the canopy was not included in my kit. I made my block from 4 pieces of 1/2" scrap balsa. I also decided to add a couple lead weights to the nose. My Cloud Bound 4 is beginning to take shape!

PICTURE 1, Used a couple lead weights from my tackle box. I drilled and carved the nose blocks to accept them.
PICTURE 2, Lead weights are epoxied in place.
PICTURE 3, Blocks epoxied to fuselage and all roughly sanded to shape. Still needs more sanding but looks pretty cool.

Cloudbound, Mike
