Wow, all great ideas! I was just looking at those pool noodles the other day. Some Stryker owners make noses out of them for more cushion on a crash. I just woke up so I'll re-read the messages later when I can make more sense out of them. Had another idea, though...aluminum beer cans glued end to end for a round fuse. Use those energy drink red bull cans for a smaller diameter. Then again, pretty much any plastic cylinder shaped bottle would work great too. Red Bull aluminum cans would probably work real well for a Wart Hog type fake nacell. Did I ever tell you guys about the plane I saw being made using detergent bottle plastic lids for the nacells? Man did it look like it was meant for that plane.
