SUMMARY:Hands-On Workshop Class returns to Howell, Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Zenith’s popular hands-on workshop class is coming back 
 to Michigan in October 2026! The October workshop will be held in cent
 ral Michigan, starting on Friday, October 9th, hosted by local Zenith 
 builder/pilot Steve Aupperle (who flies a Zenith STOL CH 750), and by 
 local EAA Chapter 1056, with a Saturday morning (October 10) informal 
 Zenith fly-in and gathering. During the workshop each participant buil
 ds and assembles their own Zenith aircraft rudder tail section from a 
 standard Zenith kit, typically completed at the end of the first day. 
 Space is limited so register early to secure your spot. \r\nIf you’v
 e always dreamed of building your own airplane, but aren’t sure that
  you have the required skills, Zenith Aircraft Company will provide yo
 u with the opportunity to learn all about building your own Zenith Air
 craft kit at one of its workshops, where you can actually start buildi
 ng your own airplane. With an emphasis on gaining hands-on building ex
 perience, the informal workshops are coordinated by Zenith Aircraft st
 aff.\r\nThe October 2026 workshop will be held in central Michigan, at
  the Livingston County Airport (KOZW) in Howell, about 55 miles west o
 f Detroit. The event is being organized by local Zenith builder/pilot 
 Steve Aupperle, who flies a Zenith STOL CH 750 powered by a Viking (Ho
 nda) engine, and by local EAA Chapter 1056. This event is also being s
 upported by Martina and Oliver Reik (Zenith CH 750 Cruzers pilots), ow
 ners of Midwest Flying Machines, a professional builder assistance cen
 ter located west of Detroit.\r\n(Above, Steve Aupperle with his Zenith
  STOL CH 750)\r\n\r\nThe hands-on workshop class will start on Friday 
 morning, October 9th, inside a private hangar at Livingston County air
 port and will conclude the following day. Zenith will also host an inf
 ormal regional fly-in gathering for Zenith aircraft owners, flyers and
  enthusiasts on Saturday (October 10th). \r\nAll Zeniths are invited 
 to fly in for the activities, and enthusiasts and current builders are
  invited to drive in to attend. Motorhome / camper parking at the even
 t is permissible. Zenith staff will be driving their Sprinter van to M
 ichigan for the workshop, and will be available to deliver kits and pa
 rts along the way (with prior arrangement).\r\nPlan now to join us at 
 the October workshop class in Michigan, or at another monthly workshop
  class at the Zenith factory. The workshops have become popular with s
 port aviation enthusiasts, giving them the opportunity to gain valuabl
 e hands-on experience in building their own Zenith Aircraft kit plane.
