Re: Flat Noses: More Suseptable To Mast Hits?

I went with the foam as a stopgap - thinking how PO'd I'd be if I
broke the nose suspecting what I suspect... 

But it's butt-ugly and slightly dysfunctional - so I'll probably
go with the "nose cone" if it seems to work.

Has your's taken any hits yet?

Do you notice the added swing weight?

Only reason I didn't go with it on day 1 is that Somebody Who
Knows opined that the mfr didn't put them on as part of the stock
board bco the handling implications of the added weight.   

That and wondering if it could take a hit, crack the material
under the cover, open up a little seam in the adhesive, and suck
water anyhow - but without showing any symptoms until it's too
late
