Default RE: Northstar mods - Tell me what you think

Thank you.
Another thing I did was hollow out the nose block and cut an access hole in the front former. The lead shot I used for nose weight was all in the nose block and held together with epoxy coating resin. As I felt the supplied ABS engine cowl was a bit heavy, I used it to make a mold for a fiberglass copy. One thing about using coating/laminating epoxy with fiberglass is that MonoKote really sticks to it.
She an interesting build and great flyer ... worth all the time she needs. Your's is coming along very nice.
