I would love to help, but I need more info. Tim
OK, I'm just going to guess, if it split the nose open the easiest way to close it up is with scotch tape.

OK, Zoil, if you are getting torn up a little bit at a time. Put some clear packing(packaging) tape on the nose of your plane. The tape should be strong enough to to keep anymore damage from occuring. You don't want to much tape, because that will mess up the balance of your plane. Tim
Pic's would be helpful, Tim

Matt, that depends on the damage. I've crashed mine into everything around and never hurt the nose. If you look at some of my posted pic's you'll see the paint is gone behind the nose. That is due to hitting something with the nose. If you are hitting something so hard that the nose is coming apart, packing tape will help. If the nose is just splitting open on the seam, scotch tape will work. BTW, I have found that the scotch gift wrap tape is the best for this. It has the purple tartat, or plaid design. The green stuff is not as strong. Check your little planes thread, I gave you a tip on flying in the wind there.
