Thanks Neil, you make a lot of sense. I think they are doing a great job with the magazine, the photography is fantastic!
I really like FiFi on the latest cover. As a scratch builder I know how much heart and soul and ton of gumption it takes to really "build" a airplane. We put years of time and effort into our projects. I think a lot of builders deserve more than a tiny picture with a one paragraph write up. We do need the political force that the EAA has. I have a Sport Aviation collection that starts from the first issue. I like to randomly pull a oldie out every now and then. I also have some EAA aircraft design books published in Hales Corner Wis. They are great. The online videos that the EAA has are good.
I'm having a easier time accepting the change now. Thanks for the input from all of you.
