these are some excellent nose caps and wing tips for us UMX MIG flyers. i love them.

some features:
1) the nose cap is long enough to cover the leading edge of the canopy. no more tape or rubberbands to keep the canopy secure.

2) they are press fit on a new undamaged fuselage and if you have a banged up fuselage it is usually still press fit or a tiny bit of 3M Blenderm tape is all that is needed to secure it. really nice detail too, Sparky captured all the panel lines.

3) crash worthy, I have beaten mine up to no end and the nose cap only cracked after i had a direct hit into a building at 75% throttle. these things are tough and as long as you hit grass, they will not break (in my experience).

4) fuselage saving, I estimate these nose caps doubled (maybe tripled) the usable life of my fuselages.

5) wing tips are not press fit, and less critical but they come as part of the deal and only require a dab of CA or silicone to secure. I have removed and reapplied them more than once, so I would say they are reusable/transferable. I cartwheeled my MIG and had no damage to the nose or wing tips. all i had to do was re-adjusted the servo linkage and i was back in the air. I was overjoyed.

6) light weight, the nose cap can be trimmed to end before the canopy (1.4g) or left full length to give you a couple mm of coverage over the leading edge of the canopy (1.7g). the wing tips are .8g each for an AUW of ~3.3 grams installed

7) cheap! $4.00 a set.
