AN IVE just taped some tamyia tape to the nose side so it gives it a bit of strenght an not get knocked off an here she has eletric goin throught it an all light worked bar the front red anitcollishion led an i found that the red live wire had broken off the resistor but soon resoldered it an got it workin again
