Kinda sad (Thread drifting as usual)

The whole (original) concept of the EAA was to provide support for the amateur-built, experimental builders and flyers. Which they still seem to be doing. If not strictly to everyone's liking. Which is, of course, a bit off of the OP's point about the EAA's seeming ignorance of aircraft costing less than a King's ransom. My fault, as I drifted along. I thought we was supposed to drift. Nice warm afternoon, in the kayak, in the shade... I'll go back and read the original post to refresh my ancient mind as to the subject of the discussion. Somehow, what sticks in my mind was someone's statement that the costs of homebuilt aircraft kits (and S-LSA aircraft) had gotten so expensive that pre-retired persons were going to be able to afford them, and we'd never see any of the more recent generation(s) entering GA. And I'm wondering why all the old, but still flyable/refurbishable, Champs, T-Craft, and similar used experimentals had suddenly disappeared. At least, they *used* to fill the gap between ultralights and commercial ready-to-fly offerings. |
