Kit Upgrades and/or Changes

Kit Upgrades, Deletions, Decisions and/or Third Party Options 


Every builder in the experimental world has the opportunity to make lots of decisions about how they want their plane to be when it is complete.  As a first time builder, I am not looking to reinvent the wheel in any way.  However, I have been checking out other build logs, sites, and videos to see what changes are necessary from a functional, appearance, and/or safety aspect.  As such, I wanted to provide a list of changes and where to find more information about them for you.  This list will be updated as I make purchases and or commit to things along the way.
