Ah, the old 'boring spamcan vs interesting aircraft' debate. What's the point?
It's axiomatic that a cub of any variety is cooler, smarter and more fun than a spamcan. The fact of what the spamcan can or cannot do is irrelevant, how reliable it is, how long its been around yadda, yadda, yadda, yawn!
If you fly nothing but boring tricycle spamcans, live with it and keep flying them. No point arguing that they're in any way equivalent to, or as worthy as, superior airframes and especially no point in taking umbrage. Just makes you look geeky and humourless and who wants that?
