I was having a conversation with Peterpan1 about the value of the EAA and how it encourages people to learn how to work with different materials so that they may build their own aircraft. It has revolutionized the light aircraft world.
The same could be done with bicycles.
In my opinion the current composite bicycle industry owes its existence to Burt Rutan.
The EAA offers courses on welding, composite construction and many other things that are as beneficial to learning how to build bicycles as they are for building airplanes.

Once such course I happened to run across while surfing.
I'd like to collect a listing of such courses as a resource for people looking for framebuilding knowledge.
