Eaa b-17 repair

[RV8505]

I see that they are asking for cash but wouldn't it be cheaper with volunteers? I wonder if they are afraid some builders don't have the skills to repair a B-17. I know at the airlines every mechanic that picks up a drill is not a sheet metal man/woman but if they gave a fabrication writen/hands on skills test to those that applied that would limit the accidental damage. Those that don't pass the test still have value cleaning and priming and everyone wins. At least we could save a few bucks and make a few friends.
