Default +1 on Airfoil Kit

My wife and I attended the Sport Air weekend sheetmetal workshop before starting on the 10 kit. Now the previous year, I had taken the 2 hour Aluminum 101 course (twice) in Oshkosh, so I thought I had it nailed. Well, needless the say, there is MUCH to dislike about the small airfoil we produced during the weekend course.

We are both pretty anal people, and the small stuff bothers us. So, we argued about technique (funny, since we had no clue about technique), cursing the metal and, in the end, learned a WHOLE lot. I highly recommend the practice kits (MORE THAN ONE) before starting.

My wife and I each signed and dated that little airfoil with a big black Sharpie, and it now hangs in my shop as a reminder of just how much we've learned. To tell the truth, I actually love than ugly little thing!
