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.

don/t know if I'll renew at this time, the $40 can buy epoxy or parts that
will be of imediate benifit.  Maybe the EAA membership will help in ways
that are not appearant on the surface.

 My understanding is, yes, you need to have a national membership to have a
local chapter membership.  There are obvious loopholes to this, you can
attend all the meetings, and be a part of the chapter, but the agreement
that the local chapter has to sign with the EAA, I believe, states that a
local "member" has to be a global member first.

I asked this question before I joined the local chapter, and this was the
answer I got.
