If you've ever dreamed of building your own aircraft, Step 1 is right around the corner. EAA SportAir Workshops arrives in
Duluth, Georgia (Atlanta area) on the weekend of November 5 -6. Enroll today and be on your way to living the dream! There is available space right now in the following courses:
Sheet Metal Basics

project, then master them by completing a complex metal wing section. All
tools and materials are supplied. Discounted cost for the two-day course is
$289 for EAA members.
Composite Construction
This two-day course provides all you need to know to begin building a
composite aircraft. Included is a complete orientation of core materials,
reinforcement materials, and different types of resin systems. The hands-on

members can enroll for the discounted price of $259.
Electrical Systems and Avionics
Learn the basic skills for a host of electrical system components, including
antenna mounting, coax cable installation, radio systems wiring, soldering
and crimping components, alternator and electrical system requirements,

Fabric Covering
This workshop gives you the skills to cover or re-cover any type of
aircraft, certificated or experimental. Learn the Poly-Fiber Covering System

and spraying. Repair procedures will also be discussed and practiced. EAA
Member price for the two-day workshop is $259.
What's Involved in Kitbuilding (evening session)

paperwork, workspace required, time commitment needed, financial investment
and insurance considerations. This course can also be taken in conjunction
with the other workshops and includes a pizza dinner for participants.
