Generating revenue is essential to keeping any organization going, but one of the biggest problems we face at EAA is our aging membership. We absolutely must make this a priority or Sport Aviation and EAA will slowly dwindle to nothing. Another issue is the fact that so much homebuilding information is available at the stroke of a key on the Internet, that all publications are suffering in print form. Sport Aviation is no different, and in order to keep it going, there needs to be a spot in there for everyone. There is room for everyone. EAA is and always has been an organization that embraces all facets of aviation...just look at at the arrivals at AirVenture every summer. Homebuilding is continually growing, and in a meeting this week, Rod opened with "homebuilding is what started this organization, it's our roots, and we will never abandon it." Mac was in the same meeting. I do think he is getting an education here and I think working with him will bring more homebuilding articles back to the magazine. Online resources are huge today, and EAA has plenty. Keeping the magazine coming to your mailboxes is a big priority, but to do that, we have to embrace all things aviation...even articles that don't seem to belong in there to us as homebuilders.Originally Posted by Eric Page
