Limited openings for SportAir workshops

By Janice Wood · November 2, 2010 ·

Limited openings remain in several EAA SportAir Workshop courses in Atlanta on Nov. 6-7. EAA SportAir Workshops, supported by Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., is a national series of programs offering insight and information on building and restoring aircraft.

EAA Chapter 690 will host the weekend program at Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field in Lawrenceville, Ga.

Openings remain for the following courses:

  • Composite Construction: This two-day course, which will present basic composite building techniques, 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.
  • Electrical Systems & Avionics: This two-day course centered on the installation process, teaching proper soldering techniques in a “hands-on” workshop.
  • Fabric Covering: This two-day course focuses on general fabric covering techniques using the Poly Fiber covering process.
  • Sheet Metal Basics: This two-day course presents the basics of sheet metal applications and delivers a solid understanding of this construction method.
  • What’s Involved in Kit Building: This 2½-hour seminar takes attendees through the entire building process, discusses relevant FAA rules, and will dispel some of the common misconceptions involved in building an aircraft.
  • Additionally, spots are still available in the upcoming Repairman (LSA) Inspection workshop, which will be held at Andrews-Murphy Airport in Andrews, N.C., on Nov. 12-14. Attendees who successfully complete this 2½-day course, which costs $299 for EAA members, will be able to perform the annual condition inspection on any experimental light-sport airplane they own.

Complete information, including a short video on EAA SportAir Workshops, is available at SportAir.com.
