Gentlemen,
I sent a letter to the EAA after Oshkosh voicing my displeasure with a few things. Shortly afterwards I received a letter from a Mr. Knapinski inviting me to address the Homebuilders Council who work at setting the future course of the EAA in this area. Shortly after that I received a letter from the editor of Sport Aviation magazine. I belong to biplaneforum.com website which is over 250 people building wood-tube-rag aircraft - true homebuilders. I posted the letters there and asked for some direction in composing a letter to the EAA that would explain how we felt and what we needed as a now "minority" group of EAA'ers. Many members posted my request on other sites and many replies have been received. We are in a "brainstorming" session currently taking all ideas/complaints and trying to formulate a cohesive response to the EAA. With your permission I will be posting your replies there minus your names, email addresses, etc. only as food for thought for others. If you care to read the complete thread you will find it at;

I am very interested in all opinions pro and con but with complaints I would also like constructive criticism. If you would like to post on the biplaneforum.com site it is a free sign up to do so. You can read anything there without being a member but must sign up to post. If you would rather send your thoughts to me feel free to do so. (I have been a member of this site for a couple of years and am building an Acro Sport 1 with an RX-8 Renesis engine.) If you wish to continue the conversation here, again, I would like to post your thoughts to the forum without any links to you personally.
Thank you,
Randy Echtinaw

Harold, it's painful isn't it? Feels like losing an old friend.
May I suggest that you don't just shred the membership renewal, but send an email letter to the editor to let them know that you did it and why.
