My son has been twice in Australia and just love your country. Flying there seems to be essential, considering the distances. One rarely sees an Australian movie where a GA plane is not involved. I only suggest that those who want to take the challenge to present their hometown do it by adding a "off-topic" tag to the title and end with the "do not archive." I sure love to read about other places in the world. I wish I could visit them all but, time and money lacking, I gladly read about them. Those who are then strictly interested in Kitfox-building only, can delete all "off-topic" titles. Their lost! :-) Just my two cents, Michel do not archive

For instance there was a bunch of articles, out there about the Bearhawk recently, which Budd Davisson authored. I really like the Bearhawk, but the fact that Budd Davisson is also the president of Avipro who kits the Bearhawk, kind of bother's me. Especially in that the articles appear in magazine's like Sport Aviation which is an EAA pub. Also Sport Pilot magazine just came out, espousing all the great things about the Skystar, etc. I think the author's name was Earl Downs who I'm pretty sure is related to Ed Downs Anyway, I don't object to anybody writing an article about a plane, but it bothers me, that somebody reads these articles to perhaps make a buying decision about a plane, and the fact that the article is written by the president of the kit company ... Anyway, you get the idea. It just doesn't seem like an honest thing, especially for an organization like EAA. I for one sent a complaint via email to editorial@eaa.org about this since I'm a member.

That's the way it works, Jeff. At least for the maritime world, which I know of. You pay for an ad in a magazine and you get the right to write some editorial stuff. Ship instrument makers are selling ship instruments. Airplane makers are selling airplanes and magazine editors are selling ... paper. Cheers, Michel do not archive

    Subject: Off topic
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Graeme Toft" <msm@byterocky.net> Thanks Michel, I must apologise for my ignorance of list protocol. Yes their is so much to see and I suppose most of us have the usual constraints of time and money. I see flying the same as those on the list do in that we need to understand our aircraft, its characteristic, its problems when it wont behave etc etc and we often sit around with a beer on a Friday or Saturday evening and discuss these very issues. But we also fly because it allows us to experience places that others cant. We recently had some blokes from the Tasmanian West Coast through here and they told us of the beautiful flying conditions and spectacular scenery they have. We are now planning a trip to that area so we can see first hand what these guys experience daily. Thats what I suppose I was attempting to achieve by writing to the list. The likelihood of finding myself flying around Alaska is remote but someone out there might have considered this and is inspired to follow through after reading another pilots story on their area in Alaska. Im please your son enjoys Australia so much. Should he ever be in my area I would be happy to show him around. Graeme Do not archive

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Scott McClintock <scott_mcclintock@dot.state.ak.us> --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Michel Verheughe <michel@online.no> That's the way it works, Jeff. Michel, Maybe that's the way it "works" for the nautical community, but I disagree (respectfully) when it comes to aviation. As an avid motorcyclist (read "Biker") the various publications used to appear to write their articles based upon the heavy advertizers. Back in the late '70's and '80's the rags used to be full of Honda ads and guess what, the "test" reports used to sing the praises of Honda. Not that I have anything against Honda (I used to race quite a few of them) but certain production year models were inferior to the similar Yamahas. I have dropped my subscriptions to all but Cycle World as they do maintain credability when it comes down to unbiased "Shoot-out" results. Those results are the basis for most rider's purchases, I know because I was in the business. I did not enjoy many sales of Cagivas until about 1985 when CW gave good reviews to the (then new) production machines. Ed Foland and I raced these with success in many desert races and GP's to include Baja 500 and 1000. (Check the SCORE and AMA Dist.38 race archives if you think I'm B.S.ing) The point that Jeff makes is valid, many people base their purchase decisions on what the magazines print. If those articles are written by the company president or employee, just how objective and believable can it be? To slip into a little Harley-Davidson mode if you'll forgive me, "If you were selling your little sister on the street corner, would you really tell the truth?" Flame suit is donned.

    Subject: Kitplane Magazine Articles
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Jeff Hays" <jeff.hays@aselia.com> Well, you are free to make up your own mind about it. To me it demonstrate's that no matter what you do for fun, somebody's trying to make a buck off of it, and that can cause situations where the innocent/unknowing get misled. Buy a kit based on an article about how great a kit is, find out maybe it's not so great, then read that the article was written by the manufacturer, and printed in magazine by an organization like EAA, which should be unbiased. I think you'll then not feel so great about the whole process. Just my opinion's. By the way, the Bearhawk article was in several magazines within a month or so. -----Original Message----- From: owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Randy Daughenbaugh Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Kitplane Magazine Articles --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Randy Daughenbaugh" <rjdaugh@rapidnet.com> Jeff, Kitplanes Magazine is a great magazine and is completely independent of EAA.

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Steve Zakreski <szakreski@shaw.ca> I agree with you 100% Jeff, and your cause is a worthwhile. I don't have a problem these people writing the articles about their own products at all. Of course they will write them and they have every right to. I have a problem with the publishers who have a responsibility to preface the article with a caption that the article is written by an author with a vested interest in the product. Most professional magazines (Engineering, Medical etc.) will always do this. Your complaint is valid and we should demand more professionalism, particularly in publications we are supporting with membership dues.

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" <bootless@earthlink.net> Bruce, Thanks for scoping that article information out. I think the original poster meant magazines about homebuilts (aka kitplanes), but didn't mean Kitplanes Magazine in particular. Kitplanes is taking a pretty independent stance in keeping the editorial section divorced from the advertising section, and an ad won't guarantee an uncritical article or review. But in general, from a consumer's point of view, it's very important to keep those issues separate. Some other magazines run advertorial sections (such as those found in Fortune, etc.) which state right up front that it's a paid-for piece. best, Cory ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Harrington" <aerowood@mcsi.net> Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Kitplane Magazine Articles > --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Bruce Harrington" <aerowood@mcsi.net> > > Jeff, > The "Tuning Up Skystar" article in "EAA Sport Pilot" magazine was written by Dan > Johnson. > No relation to Ed Downs.
