 Bill,
Complete agreement.  In its most basic function -- promotion of individual 
edxperim entation with aircraft design to improve it -- the EAA has 
obviously been diverted to the general promotion of general aviation in all 
recreational and educational aspects.  These aspects are good, but they are 
not the primary purpose of the EAA.  Imho we should be having competition 
every year for a general aerodynamic design improvement, engine reliability 
improvement, safety of flight improvement, with significant awards.  After 
that ther can be plenty of time for honoring the warbirds, the antiquers wo 
remind us of from whence we came, the ultralighters who remind us of how 
much improvement we can accomplish is the government just gets completely 
out of the way, and so on.
