Seeing as how RV-10 wing kits require an 8 week lead time, I'm planning to order mine to save money before the prices go up on February 1st (I was told it might be 5%-unofficially). Vans lists the options below, and I would like your recommendations on what to get or not get, order now, or order later for the wing kit.
1) Landing lights - I've heard that the Vans OEM lights are weak and was thinking about going with brighter LEDs or something aftermarket. Thoughts?
2) Electric aileron trim - Van's OEM is described as "independent from AP". Aren't they all tht way, or do the new-fangled APs control aileron trim too? I would like to use a hat switch to control both elevator and aileron trim, will this work like that or should I go with an aftermarket solution?
3) Float fuel sending units - Are these more/less accurate than aftermarket systems? Will they work with glass panels?
4) Anything else that's a good thing to order at this time that's not included on the Vans order form?
Thanks in advance!
