What skills are required to build an AeroCanard?
A. No special skills or previous experience are required. Builders come from all walks of life. The plans are written for the average person and first time builder. The most important skill required is the discipline to consistently read and follow a large number of written instructions. You do not need to be an engineer to understand the plans. Instructions for the AeroCanard consist of a step-by-step Builder’s Construction Manual; an Owner’s Flight Manual; a set of Video Tapes which show the construction of an AeroCanard FG from start through flight testing. AeroCanard builders can get basic training for the construction of their AeroCanard by taking a builders course that is taught around the country by Alexander SportAir Center. This basic training, although not required, takes care of the learning curve that some builders find slows them down at the beginning of their project.
