3 coats of Stain. 2 of clear laquer.
Sanding and getting full coverage on the inside of the cross members was a real pain :)
Tail feathers have been covered in UltraCote

Bottom of one wing half.
I can do the bottom of each half seperately before I glue the 2 halves to the center section.
I have to leave the tops uncovered while gluing, as I will have to use clamps to secure the halves to the center section.

#19
Servos for tailfeathers are Pull-Pull.
One was installed upside down, the other right side up.
Access panels for both are built into the top and bottom of the fuselage

The actual setting up of the this system was easier than I thought, and Du-Bro has a good video for this

Other than installing the "for show" guide wires, the plane is now ready to fly with all electronics now installed and setup.
