New guy asking simple questions
A soon as I graduate from Test Pilot School (month or so), I am planning on building an RV-8. I have a good mechanical/tools background, however have never built an aircraft. I would like some training on how to use aircraft tools and how to work with the materials (i.e. aluminum). Is it worth the money to ship my tail kit to a facility and build my kit there? Or will I learn just as much by buying a few tapes/DVDs on the Internet. In addition, can you recommend such facilities? I will be moving to southern Cali after school.
Thank you for any info!
