delurking, and hello folks -



I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger and go visit the factory for a 

flight, and come home with the emp kit.



The recent talk of stainless heater valves and door latches has me 

wondering: is there a list of parts to consider deleting from the stock 

RV-10 kits, in favor of other solutions?  from what I've read, I'm guessing 

there's nothing to omit from the empennage, perhaps just a couple things in 

the wings, and dozens of items in the remaining kits.



I should probably ask the same question about the recommended tools list, 

but I'm sure I wouldn't get the same answers from any two people, so I'll 

just muddle through that part on my own. 



I guess I've got plenty of time to soak up ideas about the fuse kit and 

beyond, but I might order the wing kit real soon now.  any particular advice 

at order time?



Thanks!

My only recommendation is to go to Tim's site and look at the list of things

not included in the kit and at the mods.  Also, there are a hand full of

after market parts that would save you some time and effort.  I did not buy

any for the emp and wings.  I did buy the door pins and flush door handles.

Hey Nate, first tell us where you are?  Lot's of us have extra parts, and someone close to you could get together with you and give you a really good breakdown of what you could delete, and what you need in addition.  I did delete quite a few things from the later kit segments, but I also sent quite a few things back to Van's.... enough little items to pay for my seat belts.

 One thing is certain, buy more #6 and #8 nutplates.

Might as well buy an extra pair of trim tab skins as well. Some get them 

okay in 2 tries, some take 3. Not sure which category I will fit in, but 

not the perfect on first try group. ;-(

Note, if you are thinking driving to the factory for your demo and 

purchasing emp kit to bring home, I don't know whether they have any 

kits crated ready to go...normally take a few days to ship them out. 

Also, takes a full size pickup with 49" between wheel wells and 8 ft bed 

with tailgate down. Their web site crate size is wrong, as they have 

gone from 2 crates to a single, wider crate. F150 and Dodge Ram are 

okay. Don't know about Chevy. Not to mention the box is around 300lbs.
