Metal work classes
I'm interested in learning how to work with metal to build a RV and I've been looking for a class and I found this:
http://www.eaa.org/eaa/event/02-13-2...1CD50FA79DA456
which is just down the road for me - however I can't make it next weekend.
Are there any other classes that people would recommend (FL/N. GA.?) |

Sorry you can't make the EAA class ... it was my first intro to aircraft sheet metal work, and was a very good investment!

While your waiting for a class, join the local EAA Chapter and find a mentor. You will learn lots from one on one time.

I'm already doing that 
Found a nice gentleman who is working on his RV-10, and it only took 5 minutes after I sat down at the meeting. He already has me convinced that I don't need to go QB.  |

You're close enough to Lakeland to commute to Sun'n Fun in April. While you may not find classes it will whet your desire to build a plane of your own.

I've got that Friday off (the 8th). Is there a set schedule for the workshops or do I just show up?

You have to register and pay for it. There should be a number and a web site listed for the class.

From the linked Sun'n Fun page in the previous post:
"For the Convention Attendee who wishes to gain experience and
knowledge, these Workshops are a bonus not only to the FAALicensed, A&P and IA Technician but to the Amateur Aircraft Builder alike. Pay the entrance fee at the gate and the rest is free. The cost of these Workshops if paid for individually would cost thousands of dollars, but SUN ?n FUN provides all this for just the cost of admission."
