I am about 85% done with my tail kit, and I plan on finishing it up in the next month or so, especially given the holiday breaks. So, I am getting ready to order my wing kit. I am going slow build on everything, because I love building for the fun of it. Here is a list of things I am planning on adding:
1. Fuel level senders. Float type since Van's doesn't sell capacitive anymore.
2. 2 extra longerons (advice I had seen from Larry on another thread).
3. Better fuel caps, I think everyone recommends the locking style.
4. Electric Aileron trim. Would like to go with the tab style instead of spring bias.
5. Fuel pickup tubes. 1 pre-made tube and 1 flop-style tube with anti-rotation.
6. AOA and Pitot plumbing lines
7. Plastic conduit
8. Return fuel line plumbing
9. Cleaveland tools tie down mod / kit.
10. Extra sheets of aluminum, various thicknesses.
11. Fuel tank test kit.
12. Extra W-730 bell crank jig (About $4) to allow work on both ailerons at the same time.
I am planning on doing wing tip lighting, but I haven't fully settled on which LED kit I want to use. I really like Aveo's ZipTips but they are very pricey, and there are good alternatives for normal wing tips like Baja etc.
What else should I also add to this order to save money on shipping, etc? What other options would you get for the wings?
