Thousands Of EAA AirVenture Attendees Will Work On The EAA/Zenith One Week Wonder Project, But How Do You Keep This From Turning Into A Cat Herding Contest?
While thousands of people are expected to stop by to pull a rivet and sign the construction log, the majority of the assembly will be handled by a core team of volunteers, approximately 100 people, who’ll spend a half or full day working on the airplane. While some previous experience with homebuilding is desirable to be a member of the core team, it is not a requirement.
The One Week Wonder project will show thousands of people exactly how an airplane goes together from start to finish, with the Zenith kit arriving at Oshkosh just as any builder would receive it. In addition to watching the project take shape during the week, AirVenture attendees will be able to add their own "hands-on" moment in the construction project and sign the logbook as one of the builders.
The purpose of the program is to demonstrate the ease and speed with which a modern aircraft kit can be assembled. The emphasis is on having an enjoyable experience while sharing the excitement of making the deadline. If you want to be considered as a member of the “core team,” complete the online application at the link listed below.
The goal is to completely construct and taxi test a Zenith CH 750 kit aircraft by the end of the week-long event beginning on July 28 and continuing through completion or the event's final day on August 3.
