A membership poll won't get to the many core experimenter types that have already abandoned EAA.
The main problem has been that EAA had no dedicated homebuilder magazine. EAA has Sport Aerobatics, Warbirds and other specialist publications, for example, but never something simply called Homebuilding.

This seems odd because home building was the core.
About 10 years ago, the paper version of Experimenter was dedicated to homebuilding, but it was morphed into Sport Pilot and this then covered mostly $ 100,000 factory built planes from Europe. ( again, not homebuilding) So it was cancelled, leaving members with no home built magazine (paper magazine).

Tom Poberezny said Airventure is the template for Sport Aviation. So naturally, now anything goes into Sport Aviation magazine just as anything goes at Oshkosh.
It doesn't bother me that everything is at Oshkosh, and really, most members did not go to Oshkosh anyway.
But they want a publication for average people. Average people don't fly Barons anymore (or ever?).
And my last point- EAA is about aircraft, not how to fly. Lots of other magazines teach how to fly.

p.s. Experimenter is back in digital form. Looks good Chad.
