The Latest Sport Aviation has a WHAT on the cover?

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. Same with the
magazine.

I don't put the EAA magazine in that category, and never have. It is a
magazine that seems pointed directly at the center of gravity of the EAA
membership. Judging from the volume of ad copy, the folks who really matter
(the advertisers) agree. For decades, it has been one of the first magazines
that I pick up every month. The only Aviation magazine that regularly beats it
(in terms of my personal interest) is "Air & Space". That said, I agree that it
is no airplane homebuilding magazine, and perhaps EAA needs to adjust its mix of
specialty publications.


As publisher/editor of Experimental Helo magazine we are very aware of this
trap and have focussed our efforts.

Which must be why EAA has a mix of 5 focused magazines in addition to "Sport
Aviation".

Which is why I quit EAA. You had to join them at expense and then join
the subgroup at more expense to get the other ones. All amateur
written and edited pubs too and often not very readable.

The EAA is the Poberezny Family Endeavor pure and simple.. I agree
they do SOME good but they are not terribly cost effective IMO. Except
at enriching themselves.
