  1. Hello all, I was wondering if someone might give me a little help. I am rebuilding a Willow fuselage nose after noticing the parts were coming loose. The movement was sufficient to have an effect on the v-tail rods, so I thought this must be an issue that should be sorted. After some pulling about, I notice a couple of things 1. The inner nose was 'bonded' to the rear fus molding, with some kind of spongy packing. 2. The cratch did not appear to be epoxied to the fuselage rear of the above packing. I've made a little drawing of how things go together - see attached. Can someone give me some pointers/tips on how to make this a solid fit? As it stands, it looks like there is no way the crutch/servo tray could ever have reached out to the fuselage sides to be bonded to it. To achieve this, I may well have to make another crutch. Perhaps I am misreading the guidelines (linked from the Willow site) and this is 'as designed'. Also does anyone know what this spongy packing is - it looks a little like a weird double sided tape and has a little give - Grommit saw it on Friday and thought it was normal. This seems to generate a nose arrangement with quite a bit of compliance - good for crash survival maybe, but not very stiff/secure. Any help, much appreciated. cheers, Ribs fuselage.pdf
