    The outflow valve on the GIV is up front near the pilot's feet. So any smell in the cabin will work its way toward the pilots.

    EAA membership could be $5, but if it's not something I wish to support, then I wouldn't spend that either.

    I understand that you know what benefits I receive from EAA better than I do, but Mac is simply one cog in the wheel of the direction of EAA. I just chose not to roll with that wheel anymore.

    Yes, yes I am. I joined EAA because it was about sport aviation. Mac has nothing to do with that. Therefore I don't feel the need to continue my support.

    Bringing Mac onboard is one of the reasons I let my membership lapse. His writing is as far from "Sport Aviation" as one can get. It was time for me to let my money do the walking.

    No it isn't. Single engine seaplanes generally rely on forward motion and water rudders to maneuver on the water. Wind, if any, can be used to help maneuver as well, but it can also be a hinderance.
