The EAA SportAir Workshop program is returning with several special workshop programs.

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
Learn all about the different metal and fastener systems and the various specialty tools needed. Acquire the basic skills by building a simple 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 portion teaches such skills as bonding, hot-wire cutting, and lay-ups. EAA 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, installation of electrical systems, and more. Complete several hands-on practice projects that will reinforce classroom discussion. EAA member price for the two-day workshop is $289.

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 as you cover DC-3 ailerons.

EAA Member price for the two-day workshop is $259.

What's Involved in Kitbuilding (evening session)
Can't spare an entire weekend? Consider our Saturday evening seminar, "What's Involved in Kitbuilding," a fact-filled discussion covering what you need to know before starting your project. Learn about the regulations and 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. Discounted price for EAA members is $25. As a special offer, you can bring along up to two members of your household for no extra charge! Pre-registration required.
