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 is 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.
  • What’s Involved in Kit Building: This 2 1/2-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. Dec. 4.

Complete information, including a short video on EAA SportAir Workshops, is available at SportAir.com or at 800-967-5746.

Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., a major sponsor of the EAA SportAir Workshops program, offers discounts on tools, materials, and supplies to workshop participants in recognition of their efforts to take the next step to build or restore an aircraft.
