So my FT Spear nose dived *HARD* on a GPS test... the nose is pretty crumpled and torn in one spot. The side walls even split off a bit.
Since I will usually lean towards simple tape repairs, I am not sure how to approach fixing this one or if replacing the front panel is what is required... I would like to keep added weight to a minimum and be able to reform the nose section. Anyone have some suggestions?
My initial plan was to gently roll the nose along the ground to push the foam back into shape and then re-glue all the seams. It would be ugly, but as long as the parts still fit together I don't see why it wouldn't work...
Picture to follow eventually...
