SHEET METAL BASICS
Learn all the aspects of sheet metal work through instruction, projects, and hands-on practice, including how to layout, drill, deburr, dimple, countersink, and drive universal and flush rivets. You’ll construct a wing airfoil kit - a project that simulates all the aspects of sheet metal construction that you will encounter in building a sheet metal aircraft.

FABRIC COVERING
The course presents the techniques of fabric covering through discussion and a variety of hands-on experiences. You will cover a wing surface, starting from the preparation stage all the way through to spraying on colors. The course concludes with a repair project on the completed wing surface. Make mistakes on our practice project, not your airplane!
