RE: Turbine Enforcer
Shok,
It wasn't hard to extend the nose. I cut narrow V shaped pieces out of plywood and epoxied them to the inside of the fuse side pieces. Then I used balsa pieces on the out side as filler to blend it in. The top of the nose was finished with balsa strips, then sanded to shape. If you look carefully at the pictures in post #1 you can see it. I also moved the nose gear forward to just in front of the cockpit, which required a new former and some reinforcing.
Widening the fuse was a little more involved. I had to make all new formers. Also had to shorten the front of the wing about an inch so that its width was the same as the fuse where they join together. Since I made a pocket in the wing for the tank and equipment the fuse rear section needed to line up with the ribs. See pictures in posts #37 & 40. I also lowered the height of the fuse enough that the supplied canopy would just fit. Otherwise I would have had to find another one that would look right.
