 Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 9:45 am Post subject: Sportair composite construction class worth it? |
 |
|
After a lot of the recent dialog about the joys of working with the composite parts of the plane, do you think the Sportair Composite Construction class would be worth while? I noticed there will be a class relatively in the neighborhood. I have not seen any other of the sportair workshops yet. My only experience with composites is with the occasional ding repair on surfboards.
Thanks,
Jae

Not having to repair my surfboard in many years  , the only difference I see is that our aviation composites have gone to epoxy resins (or vinylester) while my surfboards used the polyester stuff. You already have the skills (and tools) necessary to do the work. Whether it's worth it or not will depend on what you take away from the workshop .... but by then it's going to be too late to know if it's really worth it or not!!!

Having just taken that specific class a week ago, I feel I’m slightly better off than staying at a Holiday Inn Express. Seriously though, I feel I’m above average in composite knowledge and I still felt it was a worthwhile class. This is the 4th Sportair workshop I have taken and I haven’t been disappointed yet. If nothing else it is nice to have a little hands on experience on something other than my parts.

What were your thoughts on the wiring class? I was eying that one as it will be in town in March.

I took that one last year and liked it. Again, I felt very comfortable with wiring prior to it and still had a good take away. I think Bob Collins had a write-up about that specific class in this week’s RV Builders Hotline as he was in it last week.
