A little different take on Nose vs. Tail
This is my first poll, so hopefully it works. I was just interested in the numbers of people who were happy with their choices vs. the ones who wanted, or did, change.

This looks like it could produce some interesting results.

One more choice: Don't care as long as it flies.

Maybe there should be options for "bought a..." as some of us didn't build our RV's. Since there isn't, I went with the "built a..." choice instead.

Poll
Good job on the poll. No poll is perfect, so no worries.
All polls give us information.
Information is useful.

I am perfectly happy with my nose wheel and would do it again the same way. The next airplane will be a taildragger; more because it will be easier to build than anything else.
Honestly, I can't tell which end the little wheel is on once i'm airborne.

Interesting, it is confirming about what I thought.
I am thinking I am going to go TD, but my wife is thinking nose. Luckily my instructor was at the FBO tonight when we were there and he, with no prompting from me, helped my cause in a conversation with her. She is going to start flight training here in a couple of weeks and I think she may even consider doing some time in a cub. At least I hope so...
