Especially when each successive plane gets bigger and bigger. This plane is actually the smallest plane I have built. The entire wing is no bigger than one panel for the B-25 I am building.

True, if I go with Dope it will be brushed on, but if I go the auto paint route, then it has to be sprayed, you can't brush auto enamel, it clumps if you do. I could also use Latex, but would still...

Trying to decide on servos for the wings. I don't think a standard size will fit cleanly in the wing, so a thin wing will be needed. Problem is, I don't know the torque needed for the ailerons.
