some ideas

- pitch guage
- ball link pliers
- ball link sizer
- trueblood 450 swash leveler is nice to have
- swash zero is nice to have for a novice builder
- electronic measuring scale
- x2 1.5mm hex drivers for replacing the spindle
- the 2 small phillips screwdrivers that come with the kit
- light lube oil like Triflow
- sticky velcro

One thing that the others don't mention, is buy the best quality that you can afford. As with cheap hex tools, you can round out the screw/bolt head(BAD) or round the hexes so they don't fit properly(still bad), as the same is with screw drivers. Also you will need small diagional side cutters & pliers. There will other stuff that you will pick up as you go along(trust me).
