I have decided to continue working on the nose section. The more I thought about it, and the more I planned around the existing frame, the more problems I encountered.

So one day I just decided, this is it, I’m cutting off the whole nose! Was not an easy decision, but now that I look back at it, was the sensible thing to do. The suspension got (re) mounted for the 3^rd time now, but now at least I am happy with the result. It is attached good and solid and will not move.

Starting from scratch gave me the opportunity to use fewer members and put the steel members exactly where I needed them to support the nose. The nose is in place now with all the brackets in place. The next step will be creating the light pods with motors which will lift and lower them.
