list of items for a Moose

[Charlie Starr]

Scott,

My $.02 FWIW - don't get carried away with avionics, instruments or electronics at this point. You can make plans - but technology changes very rapidly. I bought some radios and instruments very early-on. By the time I got to the install point, I found that what I bought was old world.

Forget about scales. It will be a couple years minimum, before you need them. Usually scales can be found through local builders, an EAA chapter or a FBO. If all else fails, I bought seven bathroom scales at Wal-Mart for about $9 each (3 for each main gear and one for the tail wheel). After weighing again before paint, I found they were within 3 pounds (total) of electronic scales. Gave scales as Christmas presents to my fat friends last year.

Needed tools are OK to have, but buy other stuff when and if needed - you have a long way to travel and many $$$ that will have to be spent - but the end is worth it (and lots of knowledge is available from other builders). Good luck!
