I have been proposing, for years, that the owners of the homebuilts in the
show area (and perhaps other areas) be encouraged to post a time on his
plane, that he or she would be available for a half hour or hour on the next
day, so someone with burning questions could talk with them.

Comments?

Related... Most of the homebuilt kit manufacturers have videos. Yeah, it's
advertising, but it shows the features and something of the construction,
and lots of pretty pictures of their plane flying around. I think those
could be acquired basically for free (with probably enough money from them
to cover the cost of "repackaging" the video) and turn it into a nice dozen
half-hour segments covering the kitplane market. Cheap advertising for the
manufacturer, cheap production costs for DW, and new footage for us.

Whatever happened to the competition DW was supposed to have, a channel
called "The Aviation Channel" or some such?
