    I wish experimenter was available in print form. I get the Experimenter emails, and when I get around to trying to read the articles half the time they wont load, or they take forever to load, and I give up.

    I haven't had this complaint Mike...interesting. We are hoping to move it to an online magazine or even PDF downloadable for reading on a mobile device offline. It won't go to print though...cost is way to high, and the success of this publication being online (almost 30,000 subscribers) means it will stay that way.

    It gets worse. Mac Mclelland has apparently described Burt Rutan to his staff as a "failure".

    Apparently, the FLYING editorial arrogance is transferable.

    We're still trying to figure out where this came from...an "anonymous" person put this out on VAF on Monday night. All I can say is don't believe everything you read on the Internet...it's not what was said.

    To be fair, the TBM article is not all bad--if it had been just a two-pager celebrating Socata's 100-year history as the heir to Morane-Saulnier, with a sidebar on their latest and greatest creation, the TBM 850, I think none of us would be complaining. But a seven-page article on a multimillion dollar business aircraft--neither homebuilt, nor aerobatic, nor antique, nor warbird, nore even a general aviation type that mere mortals might rent on a weekend--has no place in an EAA publication titled and dedicated to "Sport Aviation." If this trend continues I think we will see a lot of negative reaction from the membership.

    "I have no recollection of that, Senator" You're right I don't believe everything I read on the internet. SA has just become the midwest branch of FLYING; of and by and for millionaires.

    Chad, for all I know it is Comcast's problem, but at any rate, the current setup for experimenter is totally un-useable for anyone who does not have a reliable high speed internet connection, which includes most anyone that lives in a rural area.
