E- M a il How About an App? This is really not a good format for the digital version and is a pain to use. Why not have an iPad app like AOPA or use Zinio? This is typical of the first digital formats that were used and basically is old technology for web browsers. Please update to current technology and get your readers going on tablets using current technology. A very good magazine like the Experimenter deserves better. Ron Chauffe EAA 695709 We agree 100 percent, Ron. EAA is working on apps for both Experimenter and Sport Aviation, and we're hoping they will be ready this summer…perhaps by AirVenture 2013. Until then, you can save it as a PDF and view it on your iPad offline. (That's what we do.) We'll get there. – Eds. FlyRotax Is a Great Website, Too I just read Tim Kern's article in Experimenter on buying a used Rotax engine…It was well done and filled with great information. I will refer to it a great deal, I am sure. I wish you had directed folks to www.FlyRotax.com as well as RotaxOwner.com. We actually prefer FlyRotax.com. We are members of RotaxOwner.com, and it is a good site; but our primary source of service information comes from FlyRotax.com. This is the factory site rather than a factory-authorized site. In addition to access to continued airworthiness information directly, you can find all the factory-authorized dealers and technicians. PUBLICATIONS STAFF Founder: Paul H.

Mailing Address: P.O. Box 3086, Oshkosh, WI 54903-3086 Phone: 920-426-4800 Fax: 920-426-4828 E-mail: experimenter@eaa.org Website: www.EAA.org I noticed the note asking for viewer feedback in the April issue, so I thought I'd second the original submitter in saying that the PDF downloads are the best. I'm a little behind in reading through the last few issues, but I do skim each one on download just for an idea what is inside. But having a "local" PDF is the best for me by far; it's available for me to sit down and read anytime, wherever I am (including on my iPad) regardless of whether I have good Wi-Fi (or not!). By the way, the same goes for EAA Sport Aviation as well…I still like the paper copy when I'm reading at home and use the PDF when away. Jason Reene EAA 757522 I am very pleased with Experimenter and hope it is continued. I ran across it three months ago and now look for it and read it pretty much in its entirety. I'm not too sure about how to download it, but plan to find out and will save it for future reference. E.
