The Latest Sport Aviation has a WHAT on the cover?

I resemble that remark !!

If it had not been for "Jim Wierd's" (g) column, it would have been
almost empty, I thought.

I also look forward to your articles Jim but hesitated to say anything
for fear that your head would grow even bigger. BFG

Thanks for the help that you have given many of us builders.

I tried the Experimenter and it didn't match up to Kitplanes either.

What do you think of the Kitplanes product of today, compared to 4 or 5
years ago?

I gave up my Kitplanes magazine about that long ago, because there was just
not enough quality content, IMHO.

Jim,

I would have to agree with you regarding KitPlanes. It seems to be on
a long slide down as well. I used to really look forward to the
detail articles and the "Annual" review of the available kits and
plans. That "annual" has now morphed into three issues and dominate
25% of the issues. In so doing, they have reduced indepth content
significantly. All that said, I still enjoy reading it most of the
time and just renewed my subscription.

I didn't mind the old Experimenter, but when the name and content
changed to Light Sport, they lost me...

You are probably right as a total percentage of EAA Membership. The
EAA for some reason seems to draw a wide spectrum of pilots and as you
say, some non--pilots.

More importantly, (and often neglected) that group of "non-pilots" is
rich with future pilots.

The problem that I see is that any time you try to be something for
everybody you end up with something that is kind nothing for anyone. In my
electronics experience, any time I saw a "Universal" electronic gadget I
steered clear as it would be at least difficult and would contain a bunch of
stuff that I was not interested in. Same with the magazine. As
publisher/editor of Experimental Helo magazine we are very aware of this
trap and have focussed our efforts. We will not accept ads from Ford, John
Deere or any other group not specifically involved in helicopter related
activity. That includes the gyrocopters. Based on subscriber feed back, we
seem to be scratching a particular itch. With that said, we are not
forecasting immediate indoctrination into the Fortune 500.
It's too bad EAA can't see their way clear to have a magazine for the
Amateur builders like the War Birds, and Antique guys. I tried the
Experimenter and it didn't match up to Kitplanes either.

That precisely summed up my reaction as well.
