David Algie of Algie Composite Aircraft offers a 2.5 day course where he teaches a bunch of different advanced carbon fiber and mold making techniques that are applicable to the industry and to the homebuilder. It's a smoking deal at $500. He needs a confirmed group to sign up in order to confirm dates. He has said that the days before AirVenture would work, Fri the 26th through Sun the 28th. Since he is relatively near OshKosh, at least for us west coasters, I think it is a good opportunity to combine two trips. I would like to take the course and I am looking to find others who are willing to commit. He has a yahoo group with more info.
