Interested in a maintenance forum on EAAForums.org?

[Mike Busch]

We would be interested in knowing how much interest there would be in starting a separate maintenance forum on the EAAForums.org site. If there is significant interest, we may be able to persuade the powers-that-be at EAA to set one up. I have already offered to help moderate such a forum. Do you think this is a worthwhile idea, or are you getting all the maintenance-related help you need here in Hangar Talk? --Mike

I say yes, as there are more built planes out flying than there than ones being built!

Indeed, I've found loads of help in building my aircraft, but it seems once a homebuilt is signed off and in the air there's a lot of cricket noises and suddenly everyone is afraid to give advice.

Absolutly - Acommon place to exchange maintenance issue is the main reason I use forums.

Terrific idea Mike. Look forward to your input on several subjects that seem to have developed some weird theories!

[Bugs66]

Hell yeah!

[Bill]

Add my vote for a new maintenance forum.

Another resounding "yes" here!

[Kenora]

YES; please

As a check-writing Grumman owner, I say absolutely yes!
