After just three months in operation, our little publishing company is expanding to include exclusive, informed, and relevant content for the Experimental/Amateur-Built aviation sector. The Experimental Aviator will harness the talents of household names in the experimental world like Paul Dye, Tom Wilson, Vic Syracuse, Kerry Fores, Barnaby Wainfan, Eric Stewart, Ron Wanttaja, Larry Larson, and others to provide accurate, informative, and engaging articles tailor-made for those who build, maintain, and fly their own aircraft. “There is a real need for the kind of information that only the experienced team of writers, builders, and educators we’ve assembled can provide,” said AvBrief Media Ltd. 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’re writing.” The Experimental Aviator will start as a weekly newsletter published every Tuesday, but growth plans are already in the works. Please stay tuned and thank you for supporting this truly grassroots effort to keep real journalism alive in aviation publishing.
Some of our readers might not be all that interested in Experimental or MOSAIC/LSA aircraft, but we ask you to check it out anyway. If you decide it’s not for you, you can adjust your email preferences and select just the newsletters you wish to receive by email here or via the link at the bottom of every newsletter.
Experimental aviation thrives because we share ideas—we want you to share yours. If you’ve discovered a better way to do something, solved a challenge in a cool way, or just wrapped up an aircraft build you’re proud of—we want to hear from you! Send us an email: experimental@avbrief.com.
Good move. Congrats on opening a portal to the wrench and screwdriver folks.
Outstanding decision Russ! Looking forward to this great addition to Avbrief
It was written a long time ago that if you wanted to know where General Aviation is going, you have to go to Oshkosh . . . Nowadays, Oshkosh is the DNA thread linking garages and workshops all over the world and the brain-steam coming out of those places powers innovation and – dare I write – Good Sense that seems to have dawned on 700 Independence Avenue in Washington at long last. The echoes of “Good Move, Russ” reverberate here too.
Hi Russ, Excellent expansion of your site. There is a lot going on with EAB aircraft and MOSIAC is really going to expand the LSA world. Way to go.
This is great news!
I just received my October issue of Kitplanes; they seem to have dumped most of their regular contributors making it little more than a rag full of Flying Media ads.
Please consider a print magazine.
umm… Isn’t that exactly what they said they were going to do? Gotta give them points for an excellent execution of a flawed policy.
Russ is one of us, not some venture capitalist. I just hope we can keep him afloat so he doesn’t have to depend on the grape harvest.
Glad Experimental Aviator is here! I’m all in.
I canceled my subscription to Kitplanes with the launch of AVBrief. Weirdly, I received the October issue anyway. Geez – a cover pic of an Aeromarine Merlin, but the lead on that cover was for a completely different aircraft. Misspellings,e.g. ‘faabric’ cut and pasted across bylines, editors that appear to be straight from marketing departments.
Keep it up, folks!
Bravo!
Fabulous, Russ! Thanks for your initiative.
Best of luck on your new endeavors. We really need more of the grass route topics.
Flying is kind of the AT&T of aviation. They buy something that’s good and turn it into trash!
Since redirecting to Sport Pilot privileges, I have wanted to take a fresh look at the experimental/MOSAIC sector. The Experimental Aviator is just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you AvBrief team!
Thanks for all the kind words, folks. We won’t let you down.
If you make this a print magazine, I’ll shove my money towards you faster than you can take it.
