Have just completed putting this ARF together. Need advice on where and how is the best way to water proof this plane.

get some foam rubber and put it on the wing saddle. you can buy the trim peices that will fit right in. also bundle up some paper towels and put them in the fuse by the rx and servos on the bottom. it helps in soaking up any water that gets in.

I wrapped my wing with Saran Wrap and ran a good bead of silicone caulk on the wing saddle. Then I bolted my wing in place for overnight and removed it next morning. I just trimmed the excess caulk and it doesn't leak a drop. I use a large balloon for my receiver with some foam in the neck with a couple of small cable ties.
Works for me!

Here's what I did, and it works better than wing saddle foam. Get some 1/2" foam tape from a hardware store (for insulating doors windows etc.) then put it on the WING instead of the saddle. Now, when the wing is bolted on, the saddle squeezes through the foam and makes a better seal.
