I highly recommend this Mike Busch webinar. It is long, about 1.5 hours, but worth your time.

Yes it was good, and it also does a great job of demonstrating a huge change in the focus of the EAA, and why I am no longer a member. 



The entire focus of the webinar was that the owner is not the builder, and does not do his/her own maintainance. The webinar was more for the owner of a Cessna or Piper than for a homebuilder, and this is the direction that the EAA is currently progressing in. 



Over the last few years, they have begun transitioning from being the Experimental Aircraft Association to being the Recreational Aircraft Association, with "Recreational" to include anything and everything that flies, on the assumption that somebody is enjoying it. And the EAA would like for that person to become a member and send money to Oshkosh, and come spend money at "Airventure." 



And instead of encouraging their chapters to have fly-in's with spot landing contests, and flower bomb contests, they want you to instead spend an exhausting day taking kids for rides. (Many of whom could apparently care less, since they don't even say "Thank you") 



Sorry to be such an old curmudgeon on such a pretty day, but that's how I see it.

Richard,

I agree that EAA is no longer just about experimental aircraft and that is unfortunate. Is there another org that serves home builders and exp aircraft owners exclusively? Not that I know of. Even though it is no longer dedicated exclusively to home builders, it is still a good source of information for those exploring this kind of aviating. I've never been to Airventure and probably never will and their sales pitches to me are no more effective than any other sales pitch.



The reason I posted the link is that there are lots and lots of Kolbers who did not build the Kolb they are flying(me included) and are not A&P mechanics. These folks must get an A&P to do their inspection logbook entry and might benefit from at least part of the presentation. 



I am not being defensive about your comments because I agree; just explaining the reason for the post.



do not archive

And a perfectly good reason it is. Please forgive me if I sounded critical, I did not mean to be. I was just venting.
