E-Mail Talk to Us! Welcome again to this fi rst issue of Experimenter online magazine. Homebuilders Community Manager Chad Jensen and I are delighted to be working together to bring you this publication, but like any good magazine we'll need to hear from you to know what you like/don't like or wish we'd do to make this magazine the publication you'd like. Can't promise we'll make all your dreams come true, but we'll do the best we can with the resources we have. And EAA has allocated signifi cant resources to make this magazine happen. To make it easy for you to communicate with us, all you have to do is click here, and it'll automatically open an e-mail message that will show up in Chad's inbox. We'll put that same link in the masthead on this page each month as well. Can't get much easier! The beauty of an online magazine is that we also can make it easier for fi nding interesting "stuff" anywhere on the Internet; all you have to do is click on links highlighted in blue text throughout this issue. No need to copy and paste or try to type in confusing web addresses. Such links can also make a "Letters" page like this more valuable. If you fi nd an interesting discussion online, we invite you to share that with us so we can share it with your fellow members/readers. We'll post the links with a short description of the discussion. Or, introduce us all to an interesting website. For example, have you heard that Burt Rutan has a new website documenting his life and work? Visit www.BurtRutan.com to learn all you want about all things Burt. Yup, that'll keep you busy for a while. (By the way, did I ever tell you I got to fl y in Boomerang in 1996? Thanks again, Jack [Cox] and Burt. Sorry, I can't resist mentioning that occasionally.) Lastly, this magazine is available (free!) for anyone interested in experimental aircraft of any kind—amateur-builts, experimental light-sport aircraft (E-LSA), rotorcraft, and ultralights of all varieties. So help us get the word out and share this issue with anyone you think might fi nd this publication interesting. Mary Jones EditEtc.
