Brief Description:  Shaping the Nose

Spent a bit more time playing with the bracket and contemplating the Nose Cone.

Inverted the Fuselage, still possible solo with the sawhorses handy.

Shaped lower nose by eye with sureform and sandpaper.

Trimmed Nose Wheel cutout surrounds on bottom, pranging the attaching tapes in a couple of places.

Cut some 1/4 Hoop pine hardpoints for door hinges, 1 x 2.5" aft and 1 x 3.5" fwd, expecting 2" & 3" hinge sections respectively. Have seen some others done with full length hinges, but that seems excessive.

Started hogging out foam for hardpoints.

Trimmed SC around Nose Lift and rear edges.

Trimmed rear edge of NG-30 to make more room for SC.

Need to pack the gap between SC & F-22, but it may be easier after fitting SC.
