Re: Poll: Certified or experimental

Some folks are a little negative on exp category. I'm retired and have no plans on flying commercial anymore. So exp category is fine for me. I have a BH Patrol project I'm building and a Champ to fly. If my Champ wasn't a family heirloom( in the family since 1961) I would send it away after the exp project is flying. Certified airplane parts are expensive.

Also in the "no fit" category. S-LSA converted to E-LSA. I checked the E-AB box as there was nothing closer.

Re: Poll: Certified or experimental

Thanks to everyone who checked a box in the poll, I think I have what I need. My main objective was just to get some data for how I represent our community to sponsors. Some products have wide appeal for all aircraft, some are geared toward certified with STCs, and some are experimental-only.

I could have been a lot more detailed with a poll like this, but I wanted to keep it simple.

Thanks.
