jaygongin,

Haven't heard of that plane before. The radio sounds like is a standard Futaba air born - the S148 servo's are the older standard servo, and the receiver is the standard that will work with any newer radio (just watch the high/low bands).

As far as the covering - sounds like that tail needs to be recovered. You may want to take a good look at all the covering on the plane - if it's not in the greatest of shape it may be just as easy to strip and recover the whole plane. This will also allow for a good inspection of the entire structure. If your not in a club, try to locate one - I'm sure there are some members there that will be happy to look the plane over for you.

Sounds like you have the making for a good trainer.
