Good, I was starting to worry about this crowd. The three most fun airplanes I've ever flown are the Pitts S-1S, RV-3, and J-3. I've had the pleasure of owning two (Pitts and RV-3) and partnering for awhile in a J-3. Saw the S-1 get a couple other mentions. A light, stock S-1S is just a hoot to fly.

Default RV and Maule

RV: fast, cheap, fun to fly. Use for longer xcountry and just to enjoy flying.

Maule: slow, cheap (for an airplane), holds lots of stuff. Use for sightseeing and flying to remote locations for camping/fishing/etc.

Well, this is my other ride right now - just excellent fun for short trips.



When I get time I want to build one of these - when gas gets real expensive (Chilton DW1A)



Or I could just return to this kind of thing



A Bearhawk would be great for hauling - so would a TBM or PC-12, but that's lottery winning land ...
