I have learned about some options with the parts associated with the finishing kit from being a good listener.
There are engine decisions and propeller decisions that have to be answered. But, there are other options that are not easy to find.
One individual changed out the standard canopy with a UV blocking canopy, I am sun sensitive, so I sure want that one. I cannot find that as an option in the Vans literature, so if I had not stumbled onto that, I would have never known.
Then there are the much discussed after market options like the Sam James cowl and plenum. They advertise a "overall drag reduction yields speed increases of approximately 7 to 10 mph." If this is true, the is the equivalent of the difference between 180hp and the 200 hp engine options based on the Vans performance metrics. Is this real or just marketing?
Brings up the question: What else do I not know about? Suggestions anyone?
