cancelled my subscription to Sport Aviation two years ago when it
deteriorated to where there were zero articles with useful or interesting
info to tear out and file. I kept my membership in EAA but use
Kitplanes
for my source of info.

David,
As a chapter VP I sent messages to the EAA about the magazine. They
replied that when they included tech articles people complained they were too
complicated. (A pure BS answer IMHO) This was supposedly the rationale behind
dropping funding of the CAFE tests. The EAA actually says that the articles in
SA and the other magazines are written at the 8th grade level or less! Rather
pitiful what they think of us. I actually believe that it is just simpler to
produce a "dumber" magazine. FWIW

PS Kitplanes is almost as useless on a technical
level.WRJ
