I am about to start pounding rivets on the emp cone. I have done a fair amount of reading of the daily e-mails as well as Doug's site over the last few years, but I feel like I am missing some information.
I was caught slightly underprepared when I got to the instructions regarding not including the tiedown rings. Then I got the point of needing to decide whether I am using the van's static ports or not.
My question is whether there is a list somewhere of all of the decisions I need to make? I know there will be a ton when I get to panel/engine etc, but I would like to know "before starting the tail cone you may want to investigate which static ports you want to use".
I want to make informed decisions so I would like to be prepared.
Is there any such list? Or do I need dig through everyones website to get the info?
By the way, I love reading the daily e-mails. Frankly, I have no idea what the countersink cutter is all about, but I love to hear where it is headed next.

I've been there, friend. I did a panic and searched like you. I'm sure Van's static port is fine, but I went with SafeAir1: http://www.safeair1.com/index.htm There are other perfectly good vendors out there as well. I liked the complete kit from SafeAir1, it is really straight forward.
Plan on some mounting points for tubing, wires, ELT, and Strobe Power Supply. Pre-drilled holes in the J-channels would have been great for me. Think conduit and Adel clamps. Diving the finished cone sucks. I would suggest you buy the Van's ELT/Strobe Power Supply mount. One look at it and you will feel a slap on your forehead (take the ring off first). It's a good way to mount anything on those j-channels.
By the way, you do have the latest Service Bulletin, right?

That's kind of why I started this list Eric....because there were
too many decisions to make:
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/options.html
It doesn't give every last example, and doesn't have every bit of
info, but by skimming it, you can see what kinds of things aren't
included, or what kinds of options you may need to look at.
