There appears to be a bunch of grumbling out in the blogosphere about the EAA Sport Aviation articles that appear under J Mac McClellan's byline. I would sum it up as no one can figure out which EAA constituency is his target audience and why are these articles in the EAA magazine instead of say Business And Commercial Aviation.

Are the articles aimed at the Warbird guys? Nope.
Are the articles aimed at the Antique Classic guys? Nope.
Are the articles aimed at the Aerobatic guys? Nope.
Are the articles aimed at the Ultralight guys? Nope.

I read posts where folks are wondering which homebuilt airplanes have stick shakers in them. And who is flying their RV in ice?

Mr MacClellan is clearly very knowledgeable, and likely brings a LOT of knowledge on how to successfully publish a magazine to EAA. But there seems to be a lot of "Why is he here?" discussion going on out there.

Can we get Mr M out of his Baron and into a Pietenpol?

Thanks for thinking,

Wes
