Sadly, it is "subscriber only" content...but you can cure that
Dan,
I am not a subscriber to Kitplanes. I have so many subscriptions (professional and recreational) that I am slowly letting go of some. Please tell/motivate/educate me what Kitplanes bring to the table that makes it worthwhile.
Appreciated.
Johan

Default Yes there is

You can either cast a shadow that lies 90 degrees from where your eyes are, or use a vanity mirror. I prefer my "bean bag" mirror. It lays where and at what angle I place it, allowing me to "eyeball" 90 degrees from two positions at once.

Works just as well on curves as long as the radius is nearly constant to each side of the hole being drilled.

Appreciated. Johan
Johan, it depends entirely on your needs.

In the context of this thread, I can tell you the Kitplanes crew is pushing very hard to maximize homebuilder content...hardcore how-to coverage of subjects useful to those who build and maintain EAB aircraft. It's an area nearly abdicated by others.

I can also say the subject list is far larger than you'll see here....fabric, woodwork, and welding being just three of many examples.

Is it for you? The only way to find out is to gamble $18 or so, for which you'll get both the future issues and the online archive of past material. If you like it, great. If you don't, the magazine did not meet your needs, and I know the editor will really appreciate hearing how it missed the mark.

I subscribe to 8 aviation mags. (it's an illness). Kitplanes is my favorite, by far. Sorry for the thread drift.
