My wonderful wife and I just started the empennage kit 2 days ago. She's actually more into building a plane in the garage than I am if you can imagine that! I love it!
Anyway, we are wanting to order the QB wings and fuselage ASAP due to the 8 month lead-time for those items.
I'm wanting to go with:
1) Approach Engineering rudder pedals
2) Aerosport (or similar) Instrument Panel
3) Beringer Wheels and brakes
4) ZipTips
4) Possibly more.
So.....
Q: Is there a list of 'best practices' that most people change due to better after market options being available?
Q: How do I know what items to tell Vans to delete from the kit? Does the company providing the after-market parts provide me with those items to delete?
Q: Does Vans reduce the kit cost for deleted items?
Sorry for the newbie questions.
