Default RE: Getting a Tempest Ready For Silver

Well, I removed the covering from the top and bottom of the wing and glued the sections together. Pretty smooth with no issues. I will be in Sac on Tuesday so I will go to R/C Country and grab a bunch of goodies that I need, including the fiberglass to reinforce the wing and and firewall. After working on the TF kit, going back to an ARF is so simple it's ridiculous. Here are a few pics of what I have done. There is also some pics of the stock wing screws. I am used to the larger nylon bolts. Do most pilots replace these screws with the nylon bolts or do they just use the stock ones? Just wondering what the standard is here.

Also what servos do you silver folks rec for the control surfaces?
