We have at least a half a dozen aircraft being built in my EAA Chapter,
and we also do Young Eagles twice per year, and we put on a fly-in as
well. In the winter months we usually have at least one safety seminar,
and in the summer months we often have our meetings at a builder's shop
to check

I too have had a lousy experience with 2 EAA chapters. If there is no E in EAA
then why bother. At this point the only reason I stay a member is the magazine
and discount to OSH.

I spoke to Lynn about the plane a few months ago. He was looking to sell the
engine and mount. Needs new mags and hasn't run in a few years. His daughter

the plane in public would be a great tribute to their father. V

I looked at Lynn Hyders "30's racer KR2" over the weekend, and I was

wings cut off, no takers when he offered it for $4,800! The 235 lyc had new
yellow-tagged cylinders, new prop, just the prettiest littl

I agree with Ron. Our local EAA Chapter, in its December meeting, was faced
with the decision on whether to disband the chapter or to trudge along as
best we can ? we?re down to only 4 active members (from a high of 30 +) when
the chapter first started up, some 15 years ago). One of the member
Really depends on the chapter. I am in an area where we have four
chapters withing easy driving distance and they all have their own
personalities. One is old guys that tell old stories. One is active
builders and pilots that do things.

I thought I'd chime in on this one. I also am a past president of an EAA
chapter here in Ohio and found that it is true, you get out of it what you
put into it. However, I also have come to an opinion that EAA, or at least
a lot of its chapters, have become more AOPA. There is very little E in

This is why I suggested checking around if there are more chapters
within a reasonable distance. When I moved to New Mexico, my boss told
me he was in two chapters and described one as "where the builders are"
and said more or less that the members of the other one had finished
building. I join
