Put a hinged access panel in the bulkhead between the front baggage compartment and the back of the panel on my RV-8. Not flying yet and already glad I did this.

Some time back Doug Reeves and Jay Pratt posted a VAF video highlight all the mods Jay came up with for -8's going through his shop. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the video. Jay, Doug?
I remember watching it and was impressed with all the mods Jay had come up with.

That radial installation is really looking GREATTTTT!!!!!
Almost makes me want to build another one...
As far as mods, the canopy guides on the tipper which keep the canopy centered while lowering it.
Got the idea from the 25 years of Van's aircraft book, well I think that is the name, I am not at home to look at it.
There are a lot of small things that help.

Any chance of a picture? I have a tipper and would be interested.

Removable Co-Pilot Stick
I have to say the Removable Co-Pilot stick with the quick release button has been great on my 7. Only 56 hours into it but I've used it no less than 25 times whether it's for maintenance access to get under the panel, kiddo car seats, strapping in weight for test flights or the wife's comfort. Super easy to make and even easier to use.
I also like my fully hinged rudder pedals with brake return springs, cowling hinge covers and oil door hidden hinge and flush buttons, heated seats, grips fit just the way I like them, cowling exit ramp and no paint so I'm not afraid to take it apart and make more favorite modifications!

Speed sloped windshield
The windshield is my favorite mod...and also the hardest.
Gives me that fighter look I was going for.
This pic was from the first test flight August 13, 2011.
