None. Even if you can't attend our two days of training, the building manual is clear and concise enough that you can start right away and learn as you go.

Yes, the manual is one of the best in the industry. A lot of time was spent in writing it to make sure it is clear and very easy to understand. It takes you step by step through the building process and is not just a set of plans for you to interpret.

No, the techniques involved are clearly explained in the first chapter of the manual, as well as demonstrated in the video.

There is hardly anything you can do in building, that cannot be fixed. Chapter One covers repairs and fixes to fiberglass in detail.

Yes, besides the two days of training that we offer with each kit, EAA sponsors the SportAir Workshop.

Most of the tools used in building are common hand tools, ranging from sanding blocks to a saber saw. Additionally, you will need a drill press, a good epoxy pump and a hotwire setup to cut the foam blocks. We even include heavy duty scissors for cutting the fiberglass cloth.

The manual includes detailed instructions for building all the jigs necessary. In addition, full size templates are included for building the wing jigs.

Up to the final attachment of the wings to the fuselage, all the work could be accomplished in a two car garage.

While working with epoxy, you should wear rubber gloves. Sanding and cutting the cured fiberglass parts definitely requires the use of a rated respirator to protect you from inhaling the fine particles of glass.

The many pre-molded parts, and composite construction, make the Goose a 'fast build' kit to begin with, but to further cut time we offer several Quick Build Options. Please see Pricing.

If the kit is built according to plans and the builder has not deviated from the original design, you should not have any problems getting insurance.

Not to build of course, but you will to be able to use it on water.
