Re: Experimental Scratchbuilt Aviation & Pilots association
ARGOLDMAN@...
Hey-- great idea,
but that would leave the Velocity and Aerocanard folk out-- oh, they
probably wouldn't want to belong, anyway. And what about the hybrids, ie. those
Cozy folks that used some Aerocanard parts?
Then , of course, you would have to have various sections of the new
organization indicating the percent of the project that the member actually
built. Few of these aircraft are finished by the original builder. So you could
break it up into quarters. 25% for one group, 50% for the other, 75% for the
next, and of course the "best and most powerful group" the 100%ers. Each group
could then discriminate against and complain about the other group's
power.
There could even be an additional group for those who built their own
avionics, divided into two, those that built from scratch and those who built
theirs from kits.
And what about painting. We could further divide the group by those who
painted themselves and those who had their aircraft professionally painted...
and then there is the upholstery.
A further division is those who modified the plans and those who went
exactly according to plans.
Don't even mention the various engine groups.
A composite group, tube and rag, metal, wood.
To satisfy everybody in the group, you would have to have groups of 1
person.
This is by no means an endorsement of EAA, but when you design a new group,
it may be important to have it inclusive, not exclusive, less it exclude
itself.
By the way, how many of you have ever voted for anybody on the board of
directors or created groups to try to move this organization in the way you want
it to.
