I'll definetly go with big ailerons, and take out some dihedral. Add the tail wires, and reinforcing tips mentioned by Rcpilet.
Could flaps be built, but locked in place until I could aford to upgrade from my 4 channel radio? Since the Senior is quite a "floater" I'm not sure what advantage the flaps would give though? Any thoughts from someone who has them on a Senior
or similar plane?

I really like the idea of the big tank centered on the wing, and a header tank at the firewall. When you guys fly for long distance, do you do large laps around your field, or do you take off then use a chase car and land elsewhere? Now that sounds like serious fun if you are way out in the country.

I am getting back into RC planes after a 35 year hieatus, and having a ball with my GP PT40. Things sure have changed. I am not nearly as quick on hand eye co ordination as in years gone by, so I think the Senior wil make a good "flying SUV" for me. Should be able to do most of what I want to do and not do it too fast for my reaction times like a Stick or faster plane would.

May even do a camera attach with it some day.

Thanks again guys, and keep em coming.
