I was wondering if anyone has compiled a list of modifications or deviations from the plans that are popular for the RV-9A or other models.
I would like to anticipate these modifications and perhaps make notations in the plans as I get to those sections. I don't mean engine or prop choices, but instead modifications from the plans that make life easier for the builder, or provide for future enhancements.
For example, adding the quick release pins to the canopy sounds like a modification I would want. I also understand there are: air intake choices; running wire considerations (XM antenna); built in ER tanks; detachable instrument panel; etc.
Eventually I'd like to have a list modifications to consider by section. For example:

Canopy:
- Quick Release pins for emergency.
- Tip-Up/Slider combination mod
Wings:
- Extend tank by 3 ribs for more fuel capacity
- Leading edge extened tank
