Default Configurations

I've seen many Nose wheel vs Tail wheel threads, and many Slider vs Tipper threads.

But I'm curious if there is any corollary to be found where Nose people prefer Tippers while Tall people prefer Sliders.

And I guess for added fun we can add axis for C/S vs FP and Injected vs Carb.

Not sure Mag or No mag gets the same amount of discussion.

I've got 6A - Tip up - Fixed Pitch - Carb - No mag - 160HP

I'll chart replies and see what we might see.
