Ordered Fuselage Kit
I ordered the fuselage kit today. As I've mentioned before, I'm going with the tailwheel configuration with tip-up canopy. I recently had a chance to fly in Kevin Hester's RV-7A (thanks Kevin!). He has an A model (nosewheel) and a slider canopy, so pretty much exactly the opposite configuration as I'm going with. The slider has a roll-bar in front of you which blocks part of your view. Although I didn't find this objectionable, I was so blown away with the unobstructed visibility in the factory RV-7 that I really wouldn't even consider building a slider.
I also added the electric aileron trim option since I like gadgetry.
