They've (we've) become more and more corporate over the years. I don't like the fact that 6 figure aircraft are promoted or reviewed either. I think a lot of it stems from people wanting instant airplane,quick build, high performance stuff which is way beyond many (my) budgets.> On the other hand, EAA has led the way to many positive changes as far as FAA regs regarding GA.

The one shining star in the EAA line of publications has been the "Hints for Homebuilders" series of video clips. THAT is real stuff, by real people, for real people. Yes, they have a few "factory people" in some of the videos, but they are sharing valuable skills and information.>> >> -------->> Oscar Zuniga>> Medford, OR>> Air Camper NX41CC "Scout">> A75 power>> >> >> >> >> Read this topic online here:>> >>
