EAA is bringing their fabric covering workshop to Seattle in October, and I'm considering signing up. It's a couple years too early to be directly applicable to my build, but would be useful training to have for both my build and for potential future Champ repairs (or even estimation of repairs).
My question: have any of you taken this workshop? For someone like myself who has a basic "book larnin'" understanding of fabric covering but next to no practical experience (I did a 40 minute fabric covering forum at a fly-in years ago, but that's it), is this a good use of $320 and a weekend's worth of free time? It sounds good from their description -- they say the class will completely cover a wing through color coat in two days, using the PolyTone system.
I'd appreciate any thoughts from those of you who've taken the EAA Sport Air classes. I already know that, generally speaking, taking a fabric covering class will be a good thing to expand my experience.
