E- M a il Privilege Versus Rights I want to adamantly take exception to Rick Weiss' comment that our freedom to fly is not in the Constitution and is a privilege granted by the government. We the People have the rights; what we grant to the federal government is the authority to regulate that right for the safety of all. The federal government does not grant rights! These freedoms are assured in the Constitution, and we need to stop thinking of the federal government as an all-powerful possessor and grantor of human rights. Wayne Schneider EAA 1080832 Thanks to My DAR I had my Zenith CH 750 inspected recently by Dale Gauger, who is listed on EAA's designated airworthiness representative (DAR) website. Dale came across to the western edge of Wisconsin to inspect my airplane. He was on time, very experienced, very professional, very thorough, very easy to work with, and friendly. I could not ask for a better experience. I highly recommend him to anybody. Rick George EAA 139662 PUBLICATIONS STAFF Founder: Paul H. Poberezny Publisher: Jack J.

This is just the kind of information a new builder like me needs to fly safe. Peter Zabriskie EAA 470533 Loved the PL-4A Article I really enjoy the monthly Experimenter e-magazine, and the May issue is especially good. I was pleased to see the article about the Pazmany PL-4. My dad and I were "Paz" fans back in the heyday of homebuilding before kit planes had evolved. We enjoyed studying Pazmany's technical material and appreciated the well-engineered PL-2 and PL-4 designs. Dad had corresponded with Paz over some engineering calculations/assumptions and had several letters filed away with calculations that had been shared. Thanks again for an interesting, nicely produced magazine. David Duganne EAA 1106981 6 Vol.2 No.6 / June 2013 Mailing Address: P.O.
