Put a brace behind the nose gear leg, there are 3d printed ones or you can make up something out of balsa and plywood.
Apart from that it’s a great jet.

The decals tend to lift, be prepared to stick them back down with a thin smear of FoamTac or similar.

That's a thrust ring in the exhaust.
Had my Avanti out today and she flew great even in the wind. Did some experimenting with speeds flying into a head wind, I found at 1/4 throttle she was still flying straight and level. Landed with one click of throttle and no flaps. She still had a bit of a bounce, no biggie. Hard to believe how long I've had this bird!

That's not his Avanti. I'm trying to clarify what he made for his Avanti.
I'd call what you show a "thrust tube".

So given the release of the Cougar, I wonder what upgrades the V2 Avanti will have.
Do you think they'd install that new power system, include the quick release wing mechanism, and a gyro as well? Besides the new color scheme of course. I wonder when the V2 will be released too, hopefully this summer
