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.

Do I have to have national EAA membership to join a local chapter? I still

don/t know if I'll renew at this time, the $40 can buy epoxy or parts that

that are not appearant on the surface.

The EAA national organization requires national membership for a chapter
membership. Most chapters are not particularly diligent about this (either
by omission or comission), so it is usually not an issue. However the
climate is appearing to become more dictatorial from national.
