I just let my membership lapse.  I get more help

from this list than could

ever be contained in Sport Aviation.

I agree that this list provides a ton of useful info.
I will say something for the EAA.

No, not that EAA, the -REAL- EAAs, the ones that
exists that my local airports.  While central EAA
organization seems to be more commercial than most
would care for (including me, Oshkosh has a distinctly
Disney feel at times), the local chapters, and the
people in those chapters are a great resource.  For
the $40 or whatever it is, just so that you can belong
to one or more local chapters where the true spirit of
aviation and homebuilding is, I don't suppose it's
that great of problem.

The magazine is an attempt by the central organization
to provide some sort of value to it's members, and it
isn't going to be everything the member's want it to
be.  The real value of the EAA isn't in Oshkosh, it's
10 miles down your road, and frankly we don't need
Oshkosh to get it.  But, them's the current rules.

If you spend the 40 bucks to join the EAA, you're
getting ripped off if you don't take the extra step to
go to your local chapter as well.

Going to Oshkosh this year, even if the "evil" EAA is
there.  I'm looking at every STOL kit I can.... :-)
