I would cover up the electronics with wax paper or parchment paper and just start spraying!

Oh... LOL! In that case I would go yellow with black pinstripes on the top(like a bee) and on the
bottom you choose!

I have blue, yellow, red, and white. I was thinking leaving it mostly white with blue trim, and blue and white checker on the control surfaces.

Actually I kind of like that pattern, I think it would look cool in the checkered pattern I described.

Just went and checked out the Mara, that's a very interesting plane. Is it a working rudder or just a bank-and-yank?

While building the Arrowhead I started to have a bit of an idea, which was reinforced by somebody saying they don't like the lack of rudder control on wings. I agree, it bugs me too but they just look so cool! This morning I checked out @FoamyDM 's Mara which was pretty similar to what I had in mind and really hit the idea home. The Arrowhead is a tailed delta, so why not build a tailed flying wing? The idea I came up with is a flying wing glider with a v-stab mounted on the end of an extension, like the empennage on the Bleriot XI.
I live in the LA basin and the Santa Ana winds come once a year which makes for great slope soaring. I think this would be interesting to try as a glider. Here's a quick 3-view of what I had in mind I whipped up:
It would use elevons in conjunction with a working rudder, although it could easily be built with an elevator. I drew it without one because I'm running low on servos at the minute. I actually stole the wing design from my Triplane Flying Wing, its the top and bottom wings. It's essentially a Versa with only half the chord length.
If anyone else wants to give this a try by all means do! I'm curious to see what y'all come up with.
