I recal looking at the pics of the plane that looked like swiss cheese! I don;t know if I want to be that drastic at this stage. I do want to try and get the model finished and flying then see what I want to do. I do have another set of free plans that I'm thinking about making as my next project.
As for the covering, I'm sure I'll get the HK stuff as it seems to be the cheapest, but they don;t have the off white/cream colour that I originally wanted so I'm thinking of doing a yellow/black scheme. That should make it pretty visible.
