“There is a real need for the kind of information that only the experimental team of writers, builders, and educators we’ve assembled can provide,” said AvBrief Editor-in-Chief Russ Niles. “Our pledge is that all the material you’ll read here is written by a hands-on expert on the topic about which they are writing.”
AvBrief readers responded enthusiastically to the new initiative. They noted an uptick in activity in the Experimental/Amateur-Built sector, plus the new MOSAIC rule that will usher in exciting changes in Light Sport Aircraft and Sport Pilot rules. “We really need more of these grassroots topics,” one reader said.
The Experimental Aviator starts as a weekly newsletter published every Tuesday, but growth plans are already in the works. Experimental aviation thrives because we share ideas, and AvBrief is well-positioned to welcome and showcase the insights of this vibrant community.
