I cant help to think that Steven (iflyrv10.com) donated/auctioned a great set of door handles with proceeds going to the RV-10 coordinators at OSH last summer, has been great in providing quick response and product to those that buy things from him, yet I still sometimes see many buying things from a reliably poor source that consistently received poor responses from builders for their lack of follow through.
With that example in place I propose there be a site that would allow builders to reference for places to go and avoid. Maybe I can request Tim to have a Vendor recommended list on his site since he gets so many hits and his site is the go to for RV-10 related information. This would allow many to benefit by going right to the source versus needing to search for a good place to buy things.
Names like Steinair, Stark, come to mind as places to consider for avionics/panel, many more but I forget who they were the list would be that place to reference.
I am designing and building my rear seats from ground up and will do my own work, hence I determined to build the rear seats with confor foam, as Oregon Aero, Classic Aero and Van's sells as the rear seat foam. If anyone is looking to do the same for far less I can recommend "KCH Enterprises Inc" as being an excellent source for the foam. They have good prices on the foam, excellent customer statuses with when it will ship (1-2 days') fed-ex shipping information, if it's delayed when it will ship with the option to cancel or return the merchandise if at all unhappy, etc..
I can also recommend a wire place (wiremasters.com) for excellent pricing and support (even got a Christmas card last year from the sales contact)..

Steve (iflyrv10.com) would be my absolute first choice for the parts that he makes. Only issue is that he doesn’t make the full selection (like brackets and elevator trim attach pieces) but would probably consider doing so if there were requests. He has also been a great supporter of the RV-10 builder community including a generous donation to the RV-10 OSH HQ fund last year. I’ve also had experiences with Rivethead Aero that were not positive but there’s no point in going into the details.
