Lane Wallace snoozers
I've got a bet going with my brother about how many articles Lane Wallace is going to milk out of that stupid cross country trip she took with her boyfriend's step-nephew. Come on Lane, just few more and I'll have a nice steak dinner!
Seriously, where's the editorial oversight to cut her off???? |

Come on, man. I know you're just jealous because she said she's getting married.:D:D Marshall Alexander |

Most of us have subscriptions to multiple magazines, each with their own unique focus; EAA Sport Aviation, AOPA Pilot, Flying, KitPlanes, Plane & Pilot, WarBirds, etc. Don't try to turn SA into another FLYING! Like many of the others, I dropped FLYING 20+ years ago because I realized that I have no interest in business jets, light twins, or pressurized singles. Heck, even if I could afford one, it would be a mode of transportation/business tool, not a passion. |
Folks, thanks for the kudos...it's not just me though. You all spoke up, and the voice was heard, trust me. I don't have any control over content or direction, all I can do is push homebuilding to SA, and see where it ends up.
I saw the cover for January yesterday and the feature stories, and I think two in a row will be achieved. :cool: It's not all homebuilding, but it's sport aviation. :) |

The current SA is the first one I've looked at every page in a long time. As so many others have said, there's a reason the EAA was created in the first place, and it wasn't to sell more Harleys and Fords. I don't fault them for taking advertising money from anyone but it seems like they're taking Experimental out of the EAA.

Letter to Poberezny
See page 128 of December, 2011 Sport Aviation.
Letter to Paul Poberezny December 15, 1961 Dear Mr. Poberezny, I just read the December, 1961, issue of Sport Aviation and am very disappointed that you would devote three pages to an article about the design of the Beech Staggerwing. Don't you know we are experimental airplane builders and we don't want to read about production airplanes in our magazine? If we want to read about production airplanes, we'll read Flying magazine. Sincerely, Buzz Lightyear EAA 842 [Fifty years later...sound familiar??? -DCH] |

I had little interest in taildragger RV6s. They reminded me of a squatting dog. But I was nearly forced to read about them on this forum. This forum IS pro taildragger! But non the less, I have now stuck a tailwheel on the 6. So you never know........someday, you may be wishing for a constant speed, and possibly a more spendy aircraft. Our thought patterns sometimes change, when we read about something new... , and realize there is something besides converted VW engines. :p L.Adamson |
