Another suggestion, instead of using the brass sleeve for the aileron tourqe rods it would have been better to use plastic tubing (some of the old empty refills work great). This helps in minimizing metal to metal noise

No Ujjwana,
Not like those, there is no need to buy anything, simple plastic/nylon tube with matching ID to give adequate movement is enough.
These tubes could be sourced from many things lying around in house, if you look keenly

What's the covering material used RC?

The covering material is Monokote.
This is the first time i have covered the wing alone without anybodys help, it took almost 45 minutes to cover the half wing, tomorrow i will complete the covering.

RC,
Yes it is a bit of pain to cover alone as two pairs of hand are big help in putting on a tight covering. Pain it might be but not impossible.
Your work on the covering shows you have learnt the ropes well.
As long as you remember the trick with monokote is heat and pull, specially around compound curves you can do a good job.

A tip for cutting out stickers from monokote.
Take a printout on normal paper but the print should be mirrored. Now stick the cut and printed graphics on the backing side (the side which has a thin poly backing) of Monokote with Fevicol. Cut around the graphics so that you have the final graphics on Monokote, peel away the backing when ready to apply. This would take the printed paper away, and now iron on the monokote graphics on low heat (else it would distort) and once done, seal the edges with sufficient heat, you are done and now have the graphics in the same material as the wings.
