Barry..the Mods are did are as follows:

1) stiffen up the langing gear plate by soaking it in thin CA followed up by medium CA where it connects with the fuselage supports.

2) be sure to use epoxy (removing the covering to expose wood) to join the elevators together

3) I painted the aileron connecting rods white

4) masked off and painted a design to match the fuselage on the cowling

5) seal all control hinges with hinge tape

6) built a battery floor with velcro strap to hold the TP2100 prolite packs I use.

good luck!
