So I'm 50% through the wings, but need to rebuild the rudder due to my stupidity a few years ago having dropped it off the table.
After selling the kit, then buying it back, I was thinking the rudder rebuild would be a good way to get back in the mood before tackling more expensive pieces like the wing skins.
However, I need to re-order the R-916 trailing edge wedge.
If I order this part alone, I'm sure it'll be quite a bit in shipping so I was thinking of ordering some extra parts now.
I am going to order the fuse kit sometime in the next year, and could probably stick some of the other extras in with that kit.
Should I:
1) Order the TE wedge now, and try to save on shipping by purchasing some of the known extras now (Dual Brake System, Electric Aileron Trim, Electric Elevator Trim Kit, NACA low drag sidewall mount hose interface, 6 feet of 2" fresh air ducting tube, 2" hose Clamp, VHF Antennae)
2) Go back to working on the wings, and buy the TE Wedge when the fuse gets ordered (or if I screw up something else on the wings.)
It seems worth a few dollars in shipping to keep going on the rudder, but the purist "minimize shipping" philosophy would be to add some patience and wait.
Thoughts?
