More...
7) Aileron Trim
8) Crotch Strap Attach Hardware
9) Parking Brake
10) Static Port(s)
I stuck to stuff that, while optional, is not likely to be left off by most. I didn't put in steps, passenger brakes, or wiring conduit, those are a bit more "optional" than what is on this list so far.

Bill,
I can't understand why Vans doesn't include the intersection fairings in the finish kit. Its kind of weird to get the leg fairings and wheel pants without the intersection bits. BTW The near gale force winds yesterday caused me to stay on the ground and finally make a couple stick booties. They turned out pretty good and got a thorough flight testing today.
Wow! A clear, calm and cool sky, wheel landings on grass and paved runways, and some new booty(s) after work. Life is good!

Not in wing kit
Proseal is ordered separate, assumes it'll take you some time to be ready.

Blank Panel?
I'm waiting on my fuselage kit and starting to plan the panel. In the catalog, Van's shows a "VFR" panel for the models that's already punched. Since that's not anything like I want, I've been assuming that a blank panel came with one of the kits. Is that not true? If not, do they give us a .dwg or a .dxf file so we can have one cut?
Probably a silly question, but I'm just wondering.

Paul,
You will receive a blank panel with your fuse kit.
