AirCrafters will be holding another workshop for composites on RV-10s on the weekend of November 18 and 19, 2008. The class will concentrate on RV-10s but is also applicable to other RVs and as an intro to other composite kitplanes.
This course will provide an overview of the composite parts and techniques used on Van's Aircraft RV-10 kits. We will focus on correct materials and processes, fitting the composite top and doors, cowl, spinner, fairings, and other composite parts. You will recieve hands-on training to identify and use all necessary materials. Examples of completed and in-process assemblies will be available to view. We will be fitting and installing a cabin top.
Weather permitting, we'll be giving RV-10 demo flights to as many interested parties as possible--indicate when you sign up if you're interested, first come, first served, no additional charge.
Who:
Harold Bunyi and Dave Saylor. Harold holds a BS in Aeronautical Engineering and built kitplane parts in the Phillipines for many years. He has worked at AirCrafters for 6 years and spends most of his day working with composites.
I started working with composite kitplanes in 1998. I am an A&P/IA, and I have finished my personal RV-10 project, along with many other composite and aluminum projects. I recieved my BS in Aeronautics from San Jose State.

I can recommend this highly. Especially if the Cabin top and most of the other glass parts are in front of you.
As Gary said, composites are pretty forgiving and you can cobble your way through it pretty easily. I've been doing it for years. However, it's nice going into the work with a high confidence level, some model-specific tips, and basic skills taught by some pros.

I would love to go to the work shop, but was wondering how long in advance I should do it. I am just now riveting the bottom skins on the mid fuselage and I don't see getting to the cabin top until some time in the winter of 2009-2010. I don't want to forget what I've learned.

We'll be holding this course about twice a year. You'll have a couple opportunities next year too.
