Default RE: Phase 3 EF - 16

Hi All, I had the first flight on EF16 today and after a lap around the field I managed to put it into the ground nose first, thankfully not too fast, the li-po safely ejected when the canaopy came off. The fuse is a bit cracked and bent right above the intake, and I broke off the nose right where the battery tray begins. I noticed that a lot of the foam went "poof" and left a little pile of beads, so I can't just glue it back together. I am new to foam planes. Can I just shape a new nose out foam insulation panels from the Home Center and glue it on? What is the best methode to cut the foam cleanly and leave a nice surface to attach the new nose?

Thanks in advance!
