Builder Sites

Not an exhaustive list, just those sites I’ve used for building information, for inspiration, or are just well done

Brad Oliver – RV-7. Even though Brad is no longer buiding, his website has a lot of great information…highly recommended.

Jim Piavis – RV-7. Jim is quite a craftsman. Check out his Boredom Fighter!

Terry Jantzi – RV-6. I’ve watched Terry’s trip video a dozen times…
