didn't see much value from my EAA membership as opposed to AOPA.



that is probably because you joined for the wrong reason.

now if you were a homebuilder trying to find out whether canadian
yellow cedar was suitable for carving propellors you'd find AOPA
totally bloody useless.

True, but I found EAA not all that useful for homebuilding either. I,
despite the recent claims here, find Kitplanes more useful than Sport
Pilot, or whatever the EAA rag is called these days.
