Default FALCON III COMPLETION

I have brought my Falcon III out from the cellar and I am going to attempt to finish.

Here are some photos of where I have stopped construction.

I am building it as a 3-channel instead of the 4 (I have to order some replacement aileron stock as I messed up my attempt at ailerons) so as soon as the order comes in I can just glue it in place at the trailing edge as the center pieces of the trailing edge are already glued in place and I am not ripping them off to add ailerons.

I am going to use a fixed landing gear as pictured instead of the wire that was originally with the kit, don't think it will affect it in any way as it brings the plane to the same height. And I am using 2.50 wheels instead of the instructed 2.25

I am going to cover it with white Sig AeroKote film http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...XJAU0&P=K#tech with blue graphics (more than likely stars). Has anyone used this covering and with what results?

I am going to power it with a .36 engine with 6 oz tank. The instructions say to glue the tank inside of the fuselage with no access to it, but I have changed that to include a hatch at the bottom of the fuselage.
