Very nicely done! The paint scheme really sets it off.

I agree with the other's comments about the battery capacity. You might consider a 2s 500 mah lipo -- it should save close to 3 oz. You can pick up one from [link=http://www.headsuprc.com/]Heads Up RC[/link] for about $14 with $2 shipping. It sounds like you have had quite a bit of experience with larger planes. On the 1/2A sized models, a couple of ounces can really change the wing loading and make the difference between a flinger and an zinger. If you can get this plane into the 13 to 13.5 weight range, you would have a real performer -- your structure weight is already quite good.
