Need RV-10-Experienced Mechanic in Florida

[AmontgoRV]

Hi all! My RV-10 is coming up for annual condition inspection in March and I'm trying to find a good FL-based mechanic that knows these -10s well. I am not the builder and this is my first annual with this plane, so I'm looking for something very thorough and comprehensive. Planning to do it owner-assisted.
Aircraft is based in Tampa, FL. Anyone have any good recommendations for RV-10-experienced mechanics close by? Jesse Saint isn't doing annuals anymore, so that option is out.

If the original builder, who probably isn't close to you or is not available and he probably has the Repairman's Cert, then you will still need an A&P to sign it off. You can get it ready and save some $$$. Your welcome to come up to BKV just N of Tampa. I can go through what you can do as an Owner (everything, but sign off, if you do not have the Repairman's cert) . There is a great checklist for these RVs for condition inspection. You take all the covers off, wheel pants, etc and expose it for the inspection. My RV 10 has a similar green paint scheme. PM me if you want to come up and check us out. The original builder of my RV 10 is around and we can all have a discussion at either my hangar or the EAA Chapter 1298 hangar at BKV.

There's a very good A&P at X05. Craig Sanders 727-810-0847. He's just a few hangars from me. He's pretty busy.

A couple of years ago, someone who lives in California was buying an RV in the Clearwater/St. Pete area and posted a request for recommendations for a pre-buy mechanic.

There were a few replies recommending an A&P at PIE (I think) who was very experienced with RV's. I've searched and can't find that post. It might have been in the Classifieds and was purged.

Does this ring a bell to anyone in the know?

It's not terribly far to take it up to Base Leg Aviation in Georgia. Vic Syracuse's shop - they know RV's as well as anyone.
