I am about to order my RV8 wing kit, is there any suggested changes or special orders I should make (I.e. fuel caps).
Also I may need to revamp my tools for the wings work. So what additional tools do I need for the wings that I may have not collected during empennage build? Shipping to my country cost a lot and it would be cheaper to buy all I need up front. My idea is to build the two wings together and use some extra hands by friends so it some redundant tools are good.
