Sorry Evo my comment was not meant to be an us/them statement. I don't care what end the wheel is on an aeroplane and I don't think that everyone should be forced into a GPS.

What I don't like is being told by people that you are not a a proper pilot if you fly a nosewheel or use a GPS and that sentiment is far more common than the one of lets move into the at least the present if not the future.

Take a look at many of the threads here when people ask for advice, the comments are always the same, "buy a proper aircraft with the wheel in the right place" etc etc.

Some people might just like the simplicity of flying a "simple" aeroplane and having some gadgets that help there situational awareness and feel demeand when told to go out learn to fly a proper aeroplane.

Lets face it a draughty 50 year aircraft that is requires "more" skill to fly is not everyones cup of tea!!! Nor is stomache churning there way around the sky doing aerobatics!

And for the record I like all of it and don't care which end the steering wheel is or which way is up. Contrary to your comments I am trying to be tolerant of all desires!
