Default Tech Counselor in Central Ohio
I am looking for recommendations on a Technical Counselor in the Columbus, Oh area. I went to the EAA site, but I'm a little overwhelmed by all the choices and I would like to find someone with RV experience.

Any suggestions from someone in the Columbus area that is building an RV?

Brent,
I would suggest calling the local EAA Chapters. They will know the tech counselors to recommend.

Brent,
I am in central Ohio and would recommend
Jim Baldwin. He built one of the first RV-6
and is currently building a RV-10. He is
listed on the EAA web site.

Also, I would like to plug the Ohio Valley RVators.
They are a local group of about 500 RVators.
Talk about a resource! Website below:

Good luck on your RV-8,
Tom Webster

Hm...ok, I can picture another rvproject.com feature sometime in the future: "RV Technical Counselor Database" It would be a subset of the EAA's database that lists TCs with RV experience, just like the DAR listings that Doug has.
