Build a plane in a week? Oshkosh organizers say no problem

It may take about six weeks
to make a Boeing 787
Dreamliner, but organizers at
the world-famous Oshkosh air
show think building a plane in
a week should be no problem.
At the weeklong EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh show this
summer, attendees will be
encouraged to help build a
Zenith CH 750 kit plane. The
goal of the " One Week
Wonder " initiative is to go
from scratch to taxi test of the
CH 750 entirely during the
show, which runs from July
28 through August 3, and is
put on by the Oshkosh, Wis.-
based EAA.
"The One Week Wonder
project will...allow EAA to
showcase how a person can
build their own airplane, the
technical achievements along
the way, and EAA support
programs for aircraft
builders," the EAA wrote in a
post. "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 Oshkosh show is an
annual destination for
thousands of aviation
enthusiasts interested in
seeing both the latest
innovations in experimental
aircraft and hundreds of
historical airplanes. The show
is punctuated by daily air
shows and extravagant
demonstrations of everything
from formation flying to flying
cars to jetpacks.
