great build.
you don't need both the holders for the nose wheel reduce weight esspecially since it is going to get a 15 size engine.

RC,
Since you said you were being guided by someone senior, I am sure he/she would have guided you to increase the rudder area.
The School Marm, had issues with the rudder size, just increase that to approx 50% and you are good. Hope that has been done.
Nice to see those tape hinges on control surfaces after some time and neat job there too.

Now me thinks, I would also dust my School Marm and get some air under her wheels
