** If you intend on installing a yaw damper as part of your autopilot package, you are encouraged to think about the mounting hardware for it while you are building the tailcone, as access is much easier NOW than later. See this page for more details: https://rv10.org/index.php?title=Yaw_Damper_Servo

* Vans also sells a mounting bracket that fits in the RV-10 tailcone (https://rv10.org/index.php?title=File:Screen_Shot_2022-03-24_at_11.50.50_AM.png) that is perfect for a spot to mount additional hardware. It's much easier to install earlier in the build process than later.
** A coax for the VOR antenna -- route a 25ft coax with a male BNC connector to the base of the vertical stabilizer. 25 feet of cable allows an unbroken run all the way to the control panel;  each connector results in a drop in signal strength, so the minimum should be used.

* Consider electrical wiring and rudder cables before completing the tailcone.  It is much easier to do before the top skin is riveted than to climb inside later.

** Complete section 10 up to page 10-21 step 4.  Do not rivet the Aft Deck assembly (F-1014) or the Top Skin (F-1075) until you are happy with the wiring.

** If you don't have the fuselage kit yet, you can purchase the rudder cables (F-1053) from Vans for about $110, then later have them deleted from the fuselage kit.

**Follow the instructions in section 38 (page 38-8) on how to install the rudder cables.  Install the cables through F-1008, and coil them for later between F-1007 & F-1008.
