True...there are plenty of places on the internet to get sound information. Being an EAA member and having access to thousands of archived articles is a huge plus...and very sound information. Hints for Homebuilders is another excellent place to get sound information, and watch it happen in front of you over the course of 4 or 5 minutes, rather than waiting a month for a hint or two to be read in the magazine. Webinars...one a week is broadcast, and only experts on subjects are presenters.
These are the things that I'm talking about. Various forums are a fantastic place to share information, energy, enthusiasm, and I truly believe that users of such forums know to take the information they receive for what it's worth.
The magazine is EAA's flagship, and as a flagship it has to include things all of our members are interested in. The homebuilding content is still there, and in fact the coverage should get better in the future. With only one issue a month, it's hard to wait until the next one to see what's new, but that's part of the charm of a print magazine...I know it is for me anyway.
If we want a magazine to go back to nothing but technical articles and how-to's, we just have to get rid of the internet and all of it's information.
