I've been working on covering the wings. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do so, but I eventually reverted to the same scheme I used on my LT-40.

Red on the bottom, Blue on the top, White leading edge, and a White star on the bottom and tailfin for accents. Actually, because the Tele is so big, I opted for a pair of stars on the bottom of the wing.

I got the wing covered, and started mounting the aileron servo. It took a while to hunt down the control arms I wanted, but I eventually found the Sullivans I wanted. (Picture 1)

But I did discover a problem. The slot I made in the servo tray is too narrow. (Picture 2) So out came the servo, off came the covering, and a little careful drilling with a 3/8" forstner bit, and some filing, and I now have a 3/8" slot. (Picture 3)
