Default RE: FLy Eagle Jet Models

I had been trying to decide whether to mount my Wren SS in the tail or in the conventional location on my F-16. I'm leaning towards a conventional mounting. After looking over the kit I don't think it will be practical to put enough weight far enough forward for a tail mounting.

Looking at the Skymaster website I noticed that they provide formers to mount the batteries in the nose. These also allow a removeable nose cone for access. See picture.

No such formers were supplied with my FEJ F-16, nor do the installation instructions on their website show any. Someone who does a tail mounted turbine would have to make nose formers similar to Skymasters. Did anyone get nose formers with their FEJ F-16? I suspect this is an oversight by FEJ.
