THE EVER busy Bob Thayer is leading the planning for a workshop to be held at CHAC Museum on Saturday, February 21, 2004 at Charlotte Douglas Airport. Seminars on building your own airplane.
Registration begins at 8:30 am; Seminars from 9:00 AM until Noon. $20 registration fee includes hot dog lunch and tour of CHAC museum. The agenda will be determined depending on how many folks sign up.  A low turn out will favor hands on workshops, a larger crowd will lead to several concurrent sessions covering several topics. 
Topics include how to get started; selecting a project; facilities,skills and tools needed; inspections and FAA registration, etc.
Be sure to tell your friends  about this work shop.  Go to http://www.eaa309.org/Workshop/index.htm , print and post whereever pilot/builder prospects may see.
Speakers will include Kent Ashton, Dale Ensing, Andy Moscarelli, and Ronnie Brown - all of whom are EAA Technical Counselors and have built and flown their own Homebuilt aircraft.
Call Bob Thayer at 704-664-6097 or email RDTDIVE@alltel.net to make your reservations.
