You will need your finish kit, then engine and prop, then FWF kit.  I second
what Charlie says about the insturments.  Wait as long as possible due to
the changes taking place before buying *ANY* of this stuff.  Once you have
your mind made on what that stuff is, you are ready to get the electrical
supplies.  Be content right now to watch, study and do planning on the
gadgets.
