I am pleased to see them going back to a hard copy of the "Experimenter". I do not like to read it on line--I want a copy in my hands. I hope the content more closely resembles the articles that Sport Aviation used to publish back in the days of Jack Cox. The new Sport Aviation magazines are too much touchy-feely bullyshit articles that I won't read. I usually read every page of Kitplanes and I used to do the same with Sport Aviation, but no longer.

Gary, I'm like you. I generally have my Sport Aviation in the trash after about 150 feet from the mailbox as the stuff in it now is for the powder puff flyers.

I feel the same way. I've kept all my Sport Aviation magazines from 1964-2005. The new one wind up in the trash the same day they arrive in the mailbox.

I Don't receive Sport Aviation any longer, nor do I subscribe to Kitplane. No grass roots building in either of them anymore,I know times have changed and folks are looking for instant gratification vrs a rivet hammer, a vice and a drill and the possibility that some thinking might have to happen. I was given a couple of banker boxes of 60s-80s issues of SA And Kitplane, I think I will drag em out of the hanger and break into em. Who knows, might even find someone bending a tube or a chunk of 2024 in there. Don't get me wrong, I like the old Skyhawks &Cubs and such they have their place and they hold their places very well and serve the purpose they were built for in an excellent manner. Today General Aviation Birds are designed by Insurance companies,Laywers and stockholders, and they just don't seem to have the Vision that John Thorp had for some reason,ya reckon ? Dan
