Basic Building - A Hands-On Metal-Working Workshop
Brief Description:
At this meeting you will learn Basic Metal-Working Techniques for the Aspiring Homebuilder. Metal-working and riveting is a very common construction technique in both certified and experimental aircraft. Learning some of the basics associated with this construction technique will assist you building your own aircraft, or learn more about how your "certified" was built.

01:00 pm: Basic Metal Aircraft Construction workshop
This workshop is designed to familiarize the attendee with basic metal aircraft construction and the tools used. Various specialized tools will be shown and discussed. There will be an opportunity for hands on fabrication such as locating, drilling and setting rivets in aluminum structures. Pull rivets will also be discussed.
These seminars are being held at the NorthEast Experimental Fly-In (FREE Admission, Seminars, & Parking) where many homebuilt aircraft are expected to be on display, including several Van’s RV and Rutan canard aircraft, as well as Zenith, Sonex, Kitfox, Challenger and more.
IF FLYING IN:
HOMEBUILT AIRCRAFT: Please taxi to the junction of DELTA & ECHO at LWM; Ground team will identify parking for homebuilts. For putting your homebuilt on display, you will receive a free all-u-want food combo ticket (1 per homebuilt aircraft on display) for both breakfast and lunch.
PRODUCTION AIRCRAFT: Please park on the North Ramp (large parking area next to Echo) where available spaces will be identified with a chalk circle around the space number, then walk past the red hangars to the event.
IF DRIVING IN:
Turn onto Holt Rd off Rt-125 in No. Andover (about 1 mile north of where Rt-133 turns East). At end of Holt Rd, turn right (Clark St). GATE 4 will be on the left.
Gate 4 will be manned 9:00am-10:30am so that our volunteers can also attend the seminars which start at 10:30am. We will have a cell phone # sheet on the yellow post to call at other times for someone to drive down and escort you in.
