Looks good! Making good progress. I doubt you will have to enlarge the elevator, but after having enlarged the rudder, the elevator looks a little small (if you look at the pics). I might have made it bigger just to match.

If I had one change to make in mine, I would do DUAL ailerson servos. Maybe mini's. It just doesn't seem like they are very free moving the way it's set up and probably just as much of a pain to do it the way the plans say, as it would be custom mod 2 servos (1 in each wing).

I sheeted the turtle deck and I think it makes it look much better. I would seriously consider sheeting at least the leading edges. the only problem is having it taper down to the ribs (the tough part, not sure how to do it), and the weight. Probably a copule ounces, so not too much consideration.

All this being said, the plane is supposed to fly great out of the box. You probably don't HAVE to change a thing, and it will be a very fun flying plane. BUt if you WANT to give it some personal touches, there's some ideas
