Composite construction offers the advantage of extremely smooth skins and the ability to easily form complex curved and streamlined structures. The skills needed to work with composites are not difficult and are easily learned.

This video is produced by Ron Alexander of Sport-Air Workshops and EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) demonstrates the various types of materials and techniques used in basic composite aircraft construction including:

• Laminating Systems
• Types of Foams
• Fillers
• Fiberglass and Various Other Cloth Types
• Simple Lay-Ups
• Joining Molded Parts
• Use of Peel Ply
