Composite Construction:
The Composite Construction course will present basic composite building techniques. This two day course is an intensive "hands-on" workshop discussing tools needed, safety aspects of composites, moldless construction to include "hot-wiring", bonding methods for composite kitplanes, etc. A large amount of time will be spent learning the basics of composite construction.
Electrical Systems, Wiring & Avionics:
The Electrical Systems, Wiring, and Avionics course is a 2-day course. Our instructor is an expert with considerable experience in aircraft electrical systems and avionics and, most importantly, a teacher who can communicate complex ideas.
Fabic Covering:
The Fabric Covering workshop is just one of a family of workshops presented EAA. It is an intensive 2 day course on general fabric covering techniques using the Poly Fiber covering process. Other covering processes are covered in general form.
Sheet Metal Basics:
The sheet metal basics workshop is presented by EAA. This course is 2 days in duration and it is designed to help you discover that you really can build or restore your own airplane. Our goal is to present the basics of sheet metal applications and to give you a solid understanding of this method of construction.
What's Involved in Kit Building:
The goal of this seminar is to take you through the entire building process, discuss the relevant FAA rules (in plain English) and to dispel some of the common misconceptions involved in building your own aircraft. This seminar is invaluable for anyone desiring to build an airplane, either kit or plans-built. The instructor for the course will be a staff person from the Experimental Aircraft Association. Time is allotted for questions and answers.
