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.
