There doesn't appear to be much selection in the paint department. If you can't use what you see I suggest that you glue the tri-stock in place and then cover the plane. It really should not be too hard. Do the seams (including the tristock area) and then do the flat areas.

Flying wires are not hard either, just something else to learn.

OK on the servo, as long as you can get the lead in/out OK.
This diagram is very similar to how you would cover with the tri-stock in place. As I said above, I prefer to cover AFTER the plane has been completely assembled. I cover the sections just like in the diagram. I like doing it that way because the gap is completely sealed and there is no way anything can come in contact with the balsa in the joint. If the gap isn't sealed then exhaust and oil can seep into the joint and weaken the wood.
