I'm NOT trying to start a "which end is best for the 3rd wheel debate" but this graph might interest some of you. It shows how many RV-6s, 7s, 8s and 9s of each type are flying in the US.
The percentage splits for each model are:
RV-6A 49%, RV-6 51%
RV-7A 61%, RV-7 39%
RV-8A 22%, RV-8 78%
RV-9A 90%, RV-9 10%
The data comes from the FAA register and only includes aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. I assume the reason the numbers are a lower than those from the hobbs meter is that foreign registered aircraft are not included.
