Default fixing the nose of a hobbico skyfly

can anybody give a suggestion as to how to repair a nose to a skyfly? i can't tell if you can take out the compartment where the battery rest to pop try to pop it out. it's pretty dinged up. if not repairable is there somewhere where i can by that part or do i need to buy another rtf for this plane. i don't see where i could replace this piece sine the engine is built in. any info would be appreciated.

You can buy a new fusalage from Tower Hobbies. I pulled a dent out of mine using a sharp pick. It seems hard to remove that foam pice from the nose.

To get mine to fly well I increased the angles of the control surfaces by running the pull lines through lower holes in the control horns. As it comes out of the box it is hard to control because they don't move much and are small anyway.

I got my moneys worth out of mine and it helped me be able to fly a .40 trainer.

Also it flys alot better without the landing gear on it. I hand launch mine and land it without the gear.

expoxy and glass cloth are good for repairs on it.

I dinged the nose of mine this morning. ( stupid tree ) I took out the foam battery cone and popped out the dent. You may have to move the circuit board back to get the styrofoam out.
