Gentlemen,
    I sent a letter to the EAA after Oshkosh voicing my displeasure  
with a few things. Shortly afterwards I received a letter from a Mr.  
Knapinski inviting me to address the Homebuilders Council who work at  
setting the future course of the EAA in this area. Shortly after that  
I received a letter from the editor of Sport Aviation magazine. I  
belong to biplaneforum.com website which is over 250 people building  
wood-tube-rag aircraft - true homebuilders. I posted the letters  
there and asked for some direction in composing a letter to the EAA  
that would explain how we felt and what we needed as a now "minority"  
group of EAA'ers. Many members posted my request on other sites and  
many replies have been received. We are in a "brainstorming" session  
currently taking all ideas/complaints and trying to formulate a  
cohesive response to the EAA. With your permission I will be posting  
your replies there minus your names, email addresses, etc. only as  
food for thought for others. If you care to read the complete thread  
you will find it at;

http://biplaneforum.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=902&PN=1

   I am very interested in all opinions pro and con but with  
complaints I would also like constructive criticism. If you would  
like to post on the biplaneforum.com site it is a free sign up to do  
so. You can read anything there without being a member but must sign  
up to post. If you would rather send your thoughts to me feel free to  
do so. (I have been a member of this site for a couple of years and  
am building an Acro Sport 1 with an RX-8 Renesis engine.) If you wish  
to continue the conversation here, again, I would like to post your  
thoughts to the forum without any links to you personally.
Thank you,
Randy Echtinaw
