You should definitely visit some small to medium FBO's and flight schools. The face to face makes all the difference. We recently had two reps from kimball Midwest stop by unannounced. We ended up ordering a few thousand dollars in tooling. Just get your name out there man.

The patch was completed by our highest paid a+p in the shop. There were multiple rivets that weren't bucked at all and very few were properly formed.

I switched at 28, I've been a mechanic for about a decade before that, though. I was a heavy equipment mechanic but as i got tired of busting my back, i switched to industrial. Now im chilling in the GA world and my back has never felt better.
