I am finishing up the building part of the airplane, and am getting ready to move on to covering. I love building this kit. Great quality, and great instructions. Anybody have any cool covering scheme ideas?

Look at this picture of 2fast4u's Balsa Nova. There are a ton of ideas in just this one plane.

Here ya go. Please excuse the sloppy glue. I didn't take too many cares in building this bird and got carried away at times

The tube exits will look MUCH better once I spread a little spackle (putty is your buddy!) over the exits and sand them smooth. One of the pics shows how I opened up the rear bulkheads to allow the cables free travel from the servo to the rear without guide tubes. I'm going to mount the rudder servo in the location shown on the plan for the throttle. This will move the output wheel closer to the center of the fuse. It's not perfect, but definately adequate. The elevator will sit on the left side and throttle on the right. I will raise the rudder servo aprox. 1/4" to allow the cables to pass over the other two servos. The cables will cross from below the elevator pushrods to above on the outside of the pushrods.
