Established 1991 |
|
|
|
Experimental Aircraft and Powerplant Newsforum for Designers and
Builders, Contact! is a publication of Aeronautics Education Enterprises, a
California 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation which has continuously served the
experimental aircraft movement since 1990. |
We've all heard it said, "There's no such
thing as a free lunch."
|
Well
maybe there is...
Here's a
short list of a few things that are free to
homebuilders, experimental aviators,
Compliments of CONTACT! Magazine.
|
|
|
|
1) FREE CONTACT! Magazine Issues
Click either
image for the link
|
|
|
We've
recently placed a total of 10 issues of our magazine
online and made them available for a free download.
The catch?
None, other than
that we hope you'll enjoy it enough to subscribe.
This is in essence a test to see if we will be offering
an electronic version in the near future, so your
feedback would be appreciated.
|
2) CONTACT! Magazine's
Youtube page
http://www.youtube.com/user/contactmag |
 |
|
While there are a few personal videos
mixed in, the vast majority of the videos are
experimental aviation related, and are the types you
probably won't see any other place. Some of these videos
were shot while conducting the interview for a
related article.
The catch? None at all.
|
3) The Alternative Engine
Round-up |
 |
|
CONTACT!
Magazine has been sponsoring a free fly-in for several
years. It's moved around a little, and in 2011 it
moved once again. This year it will continue to be held
in conjunction with the Golden West Fly-in (as it was
the last two years) in Marysville CA and will be held on
Saturday, June 8th, 2013.
http://www.ContactMagazine.com/roundup.html
If you are flying-in with an
aircraft powered by a Sube, Corvair, Ford, Chevrolet, Rotary, Viking,
Geo/Suzuki or
any other auto (or motorcycle) conversion and would like to present a
forum (or even if you are currently building one and
can't bring it), please contact me.
Editor@ContactMagazine.com
The catch? In order for it
to be free, you must fly in with an experimental
aircraft that has an "alternative engine" and be willing
to put it on display with the others. This will entitle
you and the occupants who flew in with you to attend the
fly-in for free. And for you that have an experimental
(data plate removed) hot-rod Lycoming, Continental, or
any number of non-certified, non-auto conversion engines
(Konig, Briggs, Verner, Kohler, UL, Jabiru, Generac, Hirth, Deltahawk, etc.) we consider those
an "alternative engine" too.
The catch? Absolutely none. This is
how we "give back" to the community. Unfortunately, if
you don't fly in with a qualifying aircraft, you'll have
to pay the normal rate to get into the Golden West
event, but there won't be any additional fee to attend
the Round-up.

4) Facebook |
 |
|
You can
keep up with the latest experimental aviation news by
following us on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/www.CONTACTMagazine
https://www.facebook.com/Patrick.Panzera
The
catch? Facebook itself. :)
But you don't need to sign-up or otherwise give any
personal information to Facebook in order to read the
CONTACT! Magazine pages.
|
|
5) We need your article. |
|
 |
|
As you may have noticed, as the editor
and publisher of CONTACT! Magazine, I'm always on the hunt for articles.
Each of
these publications are
about you,
the homebuilder. Whether you are building or flying an
experimental aircraft, we need your story! If you don't
think you have a story worth sharing, this
short video
may help.
(http://www.wimp.com/obviousyou)
While not
every plane or project can be highlighted within the pages
of Sport
Aviation, or KITPLANES, your fellow readers
still want to see your accomplishments, including any
tips you may have to share, or tools you may have
created along the way. All we need is 500-1500 words,
5-10 photos and a brief description or caption for each. If you would like to write more, it is encouraged,
and don't be surprised if we contact you to ask more
about your project. The best stories come from you, so
please don't be bashful.
The
catch? You may get mobbed by fans, you could get a
movie deal, or you could get nominated for a Nobel Peace
Prize. |
|
Thank you
for reading this through to the end. I truly hope that you benefit from reading this and
taking advantage of these things that are there for you.
If you're willing, please share this
email with those who you think can benefit.
Sincerely,
Patrick Panzera
