I suppose that you could just tape the SLIP-OFF nose cone on, but that would really seem to defeat the wonderful feature of slip-off-ability that was so thoughtfully designed right into it. (CD, inspecting a landing, "Well, well, well, what have we here?! The nose cone seems to be off! Contestant stammers back "um, well, I, uh, um don't know what happened, the damn thing just seemed to slip off! Please don't make it a zero! PLEASE!") I see the natural progression of things leading to a tethered, slip off nose cone, that can be driven independently to the 100 point spot after all necessary operations concerning contact with ground based objects are complete. Pick up the plane and the nose cone goes with it, by way of the tether. Only then can the true genius of slip-offedness be realized. Or, you could just use a piece of tape and arrange a landing right on the spot.... Bill Wingstedt RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
