I was just wonderin what kind of planes we had here

There are a little over 2400 members here, and I was wondering the % of plane types here.

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Re: I was just wonderin what kind of planes we had here

Problem is I can not click on more than one.....:-)

Family has a Super Cub, Pacer, Tri-Pacer and 180 Cherokee.....so that would be Piper tail-dragger and Piper Trike.

Re: I was just wonderin what kind of planes we had here

There is only room so any options. That is why I said if you have more than 1, click the one that applies to your favorite backcountry plane, atleast most of the time. As we have learned, there are always exceptions, and not enough provisions to cover them all. I tried to list options that would cover the majority of planes.
Just curious how many would respond, and what the majority flew, and hoping they would be honest [-o< :lol:

I have a J3, but clicked "other" for the Scout, which is a great back country machine.

Homebuilt Supercub replica - not a kit, built from parts & plans. Don Snyder in Minersville PA built it, and there's a sister to her somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

I changed it to multiple answer option if that is ok Gary. You have to change the "number of answers" value in the poll creation.

Yes, that is great thread and I hope someone bumps it up.

A poll though can reveal rough statistics, which can also be interesting. I bumped up the max poll options to 20, but with the possibility of multiple answers, I suggest starting over with the following poll options:

-Tailwheel
-Tricycle
-Cessna
-Piper
-Maule
-Aviat
-CubCrafters
-Stinson
-Mooney
-de Havilland
-Found
-Just
-Rans
-Dream
-Aeronca/Bellance/American Champion
-Taylorcraft
-Vans RV
-Zenith/Savannah
-Ultralight (Quicksilver, Lockwood, Kolb, trike, etc)
-Experimental not listed

Re: I was just wonderin what kind of planes we had here

How about adding some of the smaller off-airport types...like Kitfox, Ridge Runner and Sky Raider?
