This course will provide training in composite techniques required for completion of non-composite aircraft kits such as the Van’s RV series and others. Projects are designed to showcase and develop skills required to finish the ever-growing number of composite parts supplied by kit manufacturers.

By the end of the course, the student will have the confidence to work with composites, as well as develop skills for creating numerous fairings and making repairs to composite molded parts. Techniques and products used for filling/sanding will be demonstrated and practiced.

This course will save hours of guessing and frustration when you learn how to do it right. Although the course is tailored to RV builders, builders of other non-composite aircraft, such as the Zenith and Sonex, will benefit.
