Real nice... I lost my fight with the chin, cracked the dummy a few times, and gave up

Did you notice the plastic parts are fragile? I have broke more than I cut!

Real fragile, I have some ugly cracks... I left some of mine off and plan on finding or making my own fiberglass parts.

Put it inside. Again the government over reached with this requirement. The intent with the registered number in the "UAV" is for non line of site UAVs. When one crashes they can track were it came from and by whom. Us model plane flyers should have been exempted from this rule!

That's a good idea, also on the inside side of the wheel cover

Jerry, I have been putting expandable liquid foam in the plastic parts and it works very well.
