I tried the Experimenter and it didn't match up to Kitplanes either.

What do you think of the Kitplanes product of today, compared to 4 or 5
years ago?

I gave up my Kitplanes magazine about that long ago, because there was
just not enough quality content, IMHO.

If it had not been for "Jim Wierd's" (g) column, it would have been
almost empty, I thought.

Well being an ex "Stuck Wing" pilot Kitplanes mainly keeps me up to date on
the experimental "Stuck Wing" world and occasionally has a good "Real"
aircraft article such as Ken Armstrong's PIREPS on helicopters. And I look
forward to Jim Weir's (d?) articles and have liberally pirated parts of his
designs and incorporated them in mine. When Sport Aviation comes in I scan
it, but it usually goes in the trash after one time thru it is rare, but
approx twice a year I find something I want to keep. I keep the Kitplanes
and have found several articles by Jim Weir that I copied and filed. We have
also used Kitplanes as a style guide for our magazine.
I'm a piddler though and have 250 hrs logged in my Baby Belle and about 80%
of those hours are testing some modification that I dreamed up.
