My job has really slowed down recently. I went from working nearly
all month to having 20 days off. Now that work has slowed down, I'm looking for a side job. Yes I've heard that refinishing sailplanes is extremely boring...well so is, watching TV. I need something to do. I helped refinish the wings on an asw-19 in high school,. Two months ago I overhauled/ polished my asw-15 fuselage from 400..on up to, 1500 grit sandpaper, then waxed to a mirror finish. It made it far nicer than I would have thought. If I did this for a side income, I would only want to do a club class or standard class glider. That seems easier to do and not have to work around flaps and the extra stuff that adds more time. I've got a place to work on the glider, in a large garage, for just a couple hundred dollars a month. Also I have a couple advisors nearby who have done this work before, both AP's and IA's who can sign off this work. I hear people saying that it's costing them up to 20,000 dollars to have a glider refinished. If I only charged 10,000 (since I'm of low experience), for a less complex glider, is this reasonable to say someone might hire me? Is it also reasonable to say working 3 full days a week, to get it done in 2-3 months? Any thoughts would be great. I'm filling out applications for other types of work too. I'd rather work in and around some sort of aviation. Happy New Year! SA |
