. The couple talks I did make were awesome and it is a crime that these are not on record.
That is the begining of what we do. Problem is the focus of the EAA have not been so clear the last few years. I need to fix that.
What is the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). If you're a new member or a renewal, you're part of an organization of highly diverse aviation enthusiasts: from restoration experts and historians to leading-edge innovators venturing into space with modern technology; from do-it-yourself homebuilders to owners and operators of production aircraft; from ultralight and light sport aircraft flyers to jet owners; from the EAA Flyin spectator to the air show performer. But it isn't just our diversity that sets EAA apart from other aviation associations— it's our unique sense of community, as well.
The men and women in our vast aviation community uphold a members-helping-members approach to advancing each individual's goals. Those goals may be as simple as learning more about aviation and its history or as complex and ambitious as salvaging, restoring, and flying an antique airplane. Wherever your interest lies, you'll be pleased to find like-minded people who will take pride in helping you along in your aviation journey.
Building on its strong sense of community, EAA offers aviation enthusiasts ways to engage, exercise, and celebrate their passion for flight. EAA shares information and know-how, provides guidance, and lends a hand to individuals who want to become more active in pursuing their interest in aviation.

I think one of the nuggets that EAA should be commended on are the talks held at their auditorium. The committee that had that vision and got it to implementation - well done. Pretty envious that I am not based in JHB to be able to attend those.
On that point is perhaps something that could be addressed is the outlying centres. Too often the national representative bodies focus only on Gauteng and the rest of SA is left to it's own devices. A revival of non Gauteng based chapters should be put somewhere on your priority list - if I can add my 2c
Audio recordings of the talk shows are available on a CD as a series from the EAA Auditorium coordinator, Jeremy Woods - to order, email: admin.woods@icon.co.za
At a local level, as they are one of the GA representative organisations, they will have input into the regulations - but certainly not control them. This is why it is important to belong to one of these organisations so that they can effectively represent your interests.Trikenut wrote:Again, does the EAA control the laws that govern experimental aircraft?

Hi George, on behalf of the EAA, a hoooooge big thank you for your generous offer, you're a star.
