I've got a question for the Senior owner/builders, how many have assembled it as 3 channel versus adding ailerons? Pics showing how you chose to do the aileron conversion (strip versus barn door) would be useful.

And a comment on the amount of detail to put in a trainer. Don't get too carried away. Choose a nice color scheme, but remember it's a trainer and there may be mishaps. Don't invest too much time, and remember that a simple trim scheme is easier to repair. Also, be sure to choose contrasting colors, with dark on the bottom and light on top. This will make it easier to see in the air.
