Default Locations of Builders?

Is there a way to find out if there are any builders in your area for some help on certain areas of the build? It seems to me that somewhere I found out where all the subscribers were from and what they were building. It sure would be nice to be able to contact some local builders for assistance.

You can start here with the RV White pages and you can also contact Van's Aircraft for a list of builders in your area Rosie

Default Van's Bldr.txt

When I ordered my Empennage from Van's, they sent me an email with all of the builders within 50 miles of my address. As I live in SoCal, that was a long list.

Try calling Van's and asking for the Builder List file.

Default Here's a start...

Working for the Evil Empire, we do get to use some cool stuff sometimes..

Let me know if you want a specific area. Data was pulled from the White Pages and uploaded to MapPoint. It's only as good as the data entered, but does give an interesting view.

I checked and I know more people building in my area that are not on the list then there are people on the list.
I would suggest that you contact the EAA chapters in your area to find the RV builders. Also some of the builder help you may need will be general procedure type help and anyone that has build a plane before could be of help.

Weird. None of us Canadians are shown on that map. Is that a quirk of MapPoint ?

All the listings in the RV White Pages are voluntary. You have to contact me with your info for it to be listed/updated: http://www.vansairforce.net/rvwp.htm#update

If it's out of date it's your own fault .
