Poll: Certified or experimental

Hi everyone, I'm just trying to grab a snapshot of our community cross-section for who owns certified vs experimental or both.

Please answer the poll. You can answer both choices if you own both. Or all three. They are not mutually exclusive.

You can respond if you like, but I mainly need the data of the poll answers for a percentage breakdown.

Thanks!

Re: Poll: Certified or experimental

I am the odd man I guess since I checked all three. Cessna, RANS, and a project (Murphy Rebl that's on hold).

Re: Poll: Certified or experimental

If you have both, then check both boxes. The poll is designed to allow all three checked.

You can tick "web view" in the upper right hand corner to take you to the desktop version of the poll where you can check it yourself.

Thanks for the poll responses everyone.

Re: Poll: Certified or experimental

I can't vote even with the link you gave us. But I have a certified plane, and a certified project. You didn't have that as an answer I know, but it should count just as much as an experimental project...

Stinson 108-1. Flown mostly in the utility category. I'm a fan of the CAR3 stuff.

Re: Poll: Certified or experimental

Not to make too fine a point of it but my new to me S7 is none of the above. SLSA. Not amateur built. Experimental flying Light Sport. Factory built etc. I put myself in as experimental amateur built.

Ditto the above. S-LSA converted to E-LSA doesn't really fit any of them.
