Articles
We offer a collection of articles from various sources about our airplanes, presented here for your reading enjoyment. If you are looking for even more information, we also offer reprint packages of many articles concerning a particular aircraft we offer, which saves you the hassle of trying to track down numerous magazines as well as provides a good overview from a variety of authors. If you have any items to add or additional information that should be listed here, please let us know!

Good Resources:

Our friends over at the Cozy Builder’s group have done the hard work to completely index many Sport Aviation, Experimenter, and Kitplanes magazines, providing an extensive and accurate index (often with added descriptions of photos, etc.) This is a real boon for researching any homebuilt or sport aircraft or topic. They don’t provide the articles themselves, but it will help you know exactly where to look. Three cheers to Thomas Decker, Fred Mahan and Owen Strawn for their work on this project!

** A Note Concerning Sport Aviation and Experimenter Magazines:
Early (1950s era) editions of Sport Aviation actually carried the title Experimenter. The EAA lists these magazines as Sport Aviation, even though the magazines themselves (and the footers of the articles) bear the name Experimenter. EAA Experimenter was re-launched as a separate publication many years later. Articles published in these early editions of Sport Aviation (Experimenter) may be listed under either name here, though articles we scan will usually be listed by the name actually printed on the magazine.
