...SERIOUSLY think about colors - white or light blue is NOT for this bird, she'll disappear in the sky in a matter of minutes if you get any altitude at all. Ours is white with red stripes, and they're not nearly wide enough at 8". When it comes time to re-cover her we're going with much darker colors.
One rather important item, in my opinion, and I see it's already been mentioned - - dual aileron servos.

Agreed on colors. On mine, the undersides of the flying surfaces and fuselage are orange, which not only helps visibility at altitude but (because the outer 18" of each wing are orange top and bottom) at landingthe orange stands out against green/brown background growth.
Also agree on the dual aileron servos... which enables the flaperons, in my case...
