Decals: Images found on the intarweb. I printed them on CD/DVD labels with my inkjet, cut them out, and stuck them on before the clear-coating.
Speed: Doppler does not like the two motors and four whistles. I got the screwiest-looking graph I've ever seen in wavoscope. I'd give a ballpark guess of about 65-70mph
Canards: Functional via custom mixing with the delta program in my DX7 (rudder channel)
