Edge 540 Build ?'s

[Assassin8]

I'm currently building an Edge 540...and I have a few questions.
1. Does it matter which side the rudder pushrod is on?
2. Does the rudder servo have to be the top servo in the stacking order?
3. Can the exposed inner foam (not the Depron) be sealed somehow?
(foam safe CA?)
4. What is the best canned spray paint to use? Does it cover/adhere well?
5. What's the skinny with reversing the Hacker motor?
6. Would there be any advantage to adding carbon strips to the ailerons?
7. Could I use Econocote (it's low temp) to accent? Does it adhere to Depron?
8. Outside of HS-65 servos are there any other must have performance mods?
OK, OK, alot of questions!

BTW Paul, Love the video instructions. They were very helpful.
Are there any more coming?

Many thanks in advance!
