Not sure how to change the survey, but I went from 'Don't own' with money in my pocket to 'Cessna trike' and broke.

Modified rans s-6s trike... been off airport with it quite a few places... not as capable as an equal large-ish tired tailwheel model would be, but more capable than probably many would assume...

I think I may have done the survey earlier but I'll do it again anyways.

I have my trusty ol steed, the diamond in the sky...The mighty 172A!! Owned nearly 30 years and has done everything I have asked. My other flying plane is my bounce around the farm flivver, the RANS S7 short tail.

Re: 2016 BCP Survey Update: What’s your Current Plane?

I may have missed it but seem the RENTAL option could have been a choice.
Currently - rent old original 65hp Champ or Citabria. Dual these days from the rear seat. I prefer the rear seat for several reasons. No radio work is one - visability is the other. Back seat gives better Butt input and "longer" view down the frame.
Peripheral vision on short final is good as your peripheral vision reacts quicker at that time.

Just me
