SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 October 11, 2001 I am not a graduate of his course, but know plenty of them and one person that used to drive up and help teach it. It is a VERY busy long weekend. If you go up there with some rudimentary sewing skills and have done some pre-reading in Poynters manuals (volumes 1 and 2), then you have a very good chance of leaving there with your certificate. Don't expect a leasurely pace; it is hard work. Chuck"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #3 October 12, 2001 I never attended Dave DeWolf's rigging course, but Dave did test me for my FAA Senior Rigger rating. Dave was nurturing, pushy and funny. Part way through the test, Dave took the time to teach me an easier way to sew canopy patches.I thoroughly enjoyed the long day I spent in Dave's loft.I have spoken to several graduates of Dave DeWolf's course. They reiterated the importance of pre-study, including books, sewing and packing. They all said that it was a long 9(?) days, but they learned a lot and graduates were competent riggers.Similar Senior Rigger courses are also given by Kathy Schlater and Tom Dolphin.
