This class is an extensive five-day course devoted to building up your kit. Attending this class will result in a complete, ready-to-fly RV tail section. (Exceptions are for RV-10 builders. In this case, we will help you complete a majority of the project in the course and then provide you with the skills and confidence to finish the tail section on your own.) We provide all necessary tools and workspace, and provide personal assistance from 8 am to 5 pm. Bring a new tail kit for the RV of your choice and leave with a safe well-built tail kit. You will gain the skills and knowledge to go on and finish your plane with confidence. The student to instructor ratio is 2:1 so enrollment is limited.
