    Absolutely. I attended one of those, it was WELL worth the time. Very informative, and you get some hands-on experience working with the materials.

    scratch head, shrug, shim to fit.

    When Ken Hyde (The Wright Experience) recreated the Wright flyer for the 100th anniversary, they got the Wright family to provide them with a swatch of the original muslin they had and had that recreated. This wasn't just too look pretty, they actually flew that aircraft on several occasions. Alas, engine problems scuttled the official reenactment. The rain didn't help. The other cool thing was watching a B2 followed by Air Force One (and I mean that in the proper sense of the term, W was aboard) made a low pass over the runway at First Flight.
