Sport Aviation was the only magazine which played to the whole range of enthusiast aircraft - experimentals, warbirds, and antiques. Everything I see and hear says a decision has been made to move away from Sport Aviation's unique place in the market and make it Flying, Part Deux (with a couple of Experimental articles thrown in to ward off the pitchforks and torches). |
Was the RV-10 article a reprint? I ask because Bud mentions the 210 hp Conti engine and I didn?t think that was available any more.

Based on this thread I looked for my issue of SA with anticipation... Did they finally get their act together?
Nope. Really, how many RV-10 PIREPS do we need? AOPA, of all people just did one within the last year. And how many different publications does this silly cross country trip in a spam can (Lane Wallace) need to be in, and for how long? Enough already! Yep, another "flip through and trash" issue. |

This article is about the factory demonstrator, and what you get from Van's if you built one without fancy interiors and panels. I read it as a completely different pirep than the top of the line type of RV-10's that usually get covered. |

The Duck article was fantastic, as was the Voyager article and Leeward tribute. Much better overall if you ask me...'course ya didn't. ;) |

Funny, but the first thing I always read is the completion section and then flip forward a page to read about the journey of one builder. BTW, I'm still trying to figure out the Honda Jet and TBM ads but it is good to see them supporting the EAA. |

That is pretty fast for getting something out the door in the publishing world. Three months is pretty much the norm as I recall. |

I like seeing tech and innovation in SA (from the garage, not JPL/NASA). Significant technical content continues to be absent. I feel that in their mad rush to appeal to everyone, they have lost their focus. I keep hoping that someone will return to the magic formula of the 60's, 70's and early 80's SA. We'll see. |

Every Lindy winner has a story. There's no better place to tell those stories than Sport Aviation magazine. If your editor needs material that all EAAers care to read, that informs, inspires and educates, look no further than your own members' achievements. |
