Extra elastic bands to attach the wing to the fuselage. They eventually crack and break.
I believe the prop screw is 10mm. Have a wrench just in case the prop screw comes loose. Having a spare prop or two is handy if one should break.
A Phillips screw driver is required to remove the nose cone spinner.
The front landing gear has a tendency to come loose so a Phillips screw driver that has a good bit on the screw attaching the nose wheel to the engine fire wall is good to keep in your tool box you bring to the field. This screw driver should fit the collars that keep the wheels attached.
A roll of clear packing tape and scissors. The horizontal and vertical stabilizer are covered with vinyl. The vinyl has a tendency to come apart at the seams especially in cold weather. I cover the seams with hinge tape and this prevents the vinyl from ripping open in the air. This saves buying new stabilizers. The clear tape can be used for field repairs. A bottle of Foam Safe CA glue is a necessary item. For a fast repair a bottle of CA accelerator is nice to have. One very important tip. Check the C.G. This can be adjusted by sliding the battery back and forth until the plane balances or is slightly nose heavy. Never never tail heavy. Mark the location so the battery can always be installed in this location. A package of hook and loop tape is necessary to keep the battery from sliding around in the battery compartment. Hope this helps. Keep your fingers away from the prop. Electric planes can attack you. So keep a package of band-aids in the tool box just in case.
