[RCSE] Glassing my Ninja- updated

Well I got some 2oz cloth (it was either that or 5 oz at the hobby shop) and put it on. I am not sure I did it right, though. I did both sides of the fuse from nose to F3 (halfway between the TE and the tail). I used 3m77 to hold the cloth down and then mixed some 15min epoxy and thinned it w/
