Interested in a maintenance forum on EAAForums.org?

We would be interested in knowing how much interest there would be in starting a separate maintenance forum on the EAAForums.org site. If there is significant interest, we may be able to persuade the powers-that-be at EAA to set one up. I have already offered to help moderate such a forum. Do you think this is a worthwhile idea, or are you getting all the maintenance-related help you need here in Hangar Talk? --Mike

I say yes, as there are more built planes out flying than there than ones being built!

Indeed, I've found loads of help in building my aircraft, but it seems once a homebuilt is signed off and in the air there's a lot of cricket noises and suddenly everyone is afraid to give advice.

Absolutly - Acommon place to exchange maintenance issue is the main reason I use forums.

Uhhhh...from Mike Busch....uhhhh...YEA...why has it taken so long?

Terrific idea Mike. Look forward to your input on several subjects that seem to have developed some weird theories!

Hell yeah!

Add my vote for a new maintenance forum.

Another resounding "yes" here!

YES; please :)

As a check-writing Grumman owner, I say absolutely yes!

Yes!!!!!!!!

That is a real need.

Sounds like a good place for us old A&P types to hang out.

With your Avatar of a Tripehound I must wonder...just how old will these "old" A&P types be???

Absolutely!- if nothing else a place to share "how to's" with a maintenance slant

Thanks for all your feedback, everyone. Looks like Hal Bryan (EAA Online Community Manager) is convinced. He tells me that we can look for a new maintenance forum (name yet to be determined) to be up on the EAAForums.org site sometime next week. I look forward to participating. --Mike

Yes. I think it's a great idea. Wayne Cochrane

I voted but hadn't written. I think it is a great idea, your column is one I read every time, Mike.

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks to everyone, especially Mike, for making your opinions known. We'll be talking about a lot of the other suggestions for new forums, and maybe doing a little bit of reorganization over the next few weeks, but this one was such a no-brainer that I didn't see any reason to wait.
