The only things I occasionally like in Sport Aviation is the Experimenter section in the back. I used to subscribe to Experimenter, their publication for homebuilders, until they discontinued it.
Sport Aviation seems to be mostly about restoring esoteric warbirds and giving plane rides to little kids (Both of these of course are worthwhile pursuits but I don't have a warbird or kids).
