You can buy a paddle gauge but most people just make sure they are setting level.

Its not legal to swap on our side of the pond unless you have a synthesized module or a module based transmitter.

Nice to have:
OS Crank Lock tool
small snap ring pliers
hardened hex driver set
digital calipers and the vario pushrod tool nubs for the calipers
silicon dielectric grease and triflow
blue locktite (mandatory)

The biggest thing you're missing is a tach. Will be hard to tune the bird if you don't know the headspeed.
