EAA Chapter 20 sponsors a Young Aviators Build-A-Plane program, which introduces high-school students to hands-on aviation through the build of an actual aircraft: a Van's RV-12. For details, contact info@eaa20.org. • Visit the aircraft build: Build sessions are Saturday 9 am to noon, and Monday 4 pm to 8 pm in SQL hangar A45s. • Join the Equity flying club: Due to EAA policy, Chapter 20 cannot own or operate the plane once it's complete. Instead, the aircraft will become home to an equity flying club, the "Flying 12." Contact Bill Warner (billwmenlo@aol.com) for details about becoming a member. • Thank our supporters: Chapter 20 members with prior aircraft build experience, including training in sheet metal construction, electrical systems, and wiring, serve as project mentors for the students. Chapter 20 purchased the Van's RV-12 kits, and chapter members donated many of the tools. San Carlos Airport is providing a dedicated hangar, where a majority of the aircraft structure has been built. |
