Which brings to this discussion the question; do EAA members who are specifically interested in homebuilding think the time has come for a separate homebuilders division, with it's own printed magazine? Would you be willing to pay an extra cost for this magazine, just like the Vintage, Warbirds or IAC members do? This idea has been discussed from time to time, but there has never been much horsepower behind it internally. Maybe it needs to be discussed more, both internally and externally. I'm not saying I'm for or against the idea of a homebuilder division, but if you want a dedicated magazine this is the only way it's going to happen.
Food for thought!
