                                Welcome to the inaugural issue of HANGAR TALK, a monthly
                                e-newsletter developed as a joint venture 
between EAA and CONTACT! Magazine, expressly for
                                individuals like you who have an interest in
                                learning about, building, as well as flying 
experimental aircraft. HANGAR TALK is dedicated to sharing knowledge and 
building experiences, successes as well as foils and follies. We will focus on addressing
                                your questions, identifying and explaining your fears
                                and apprehensions, discussing experiences and challenges, and providing
                                learning tips for prospective and new builders. 
It will include your comments and questions, and
                                the challenges you have experienced
                                while searching for or building that "perfect" 
project, panel, engine or prop. You'll also be able to share your flight-testing
                                experiences with us, ongoing or first-flights, 
so that we can share them
                                with others.
